Greensburg, Ind. — Greensburg is one of six finalists for the 2017 Stellar Communities Designation. Now, a team of city leaders will present an updated strategic investment plan for the next selection process.
The program is intended to support “transformative quality of place community improvements.”
Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch says “we have seen such transformation throughout the previous cities and towns who have received the Stellar Communities Designation and recognize the hard work, collaboration, and dedication it takes from the local team to work alongside our state agencies committed to making a true impact throughout smaller communities across Indiana. I congratulate this year’s six finalists for taking the fundamental first steps or in some cases, after reevaluating previous efforts, heeding advice to identify quality of place projects in line with their local visions for the future. We look forward to receiving the strategic investment plans from each of the finalist communities to see what state and local collaborations might be possible to take our hometowns to the next level.”
Mayor Dan Manus praised the efforts of the Decatur County Community Foundation, Main Street Greensburg, Greensburg Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Corporation Greensburg-Decatur County and Greensburg/Decatur County Tourism.
Greensburg is now competing with Madison and Vincennes for the designation.
