Much activity is planned for the Town of Corydon this year.  We just broke ground on the long-awaited Skate Park in early April.  Construction will last all summer and into the fall.  With any luck, it will open in late fall, or early next year.  This has been in planning for over 3 years now.  We thank everyone that gave donations, no matter how large or small.  Special thanks to our partners at the Harrison County Community Foundation and the Harrison County Chamber of Commerce.

Our Settlers Trace sewage lift station was just completed with a complete rebuild.  All new pumps, motors, valves, guide rails and electrical system panels were replaced. 

Our sewer plant on W Poplar ST is having a major upgrade to electrical system panels and controls.  These panels were installed in 1991 and are being raised out of the flood plain.  This should be completed in May.

Summer construction project season is also just around the corner.  In early May we will bid out three small water main projects.  One on Williar AV, the second on Dale AV / Church ST, and the third at Settlers Trace.  We also plan to re-line about 3,500 feet of sewer mains this year, mostly in the right of ways between E Chestnut ST and E Walnut ST.  Another project is to repair and upgrade the oxidation ditch at our sewer plant on W Poplar ST.

Infrastructure improvements such as these are an ongoing battle to fight.  Most are out of sight and out of mind, but they are vital to the services we provide our customers.

Residential and commercial construction is occurring all around Town.  Several new homes are presently under construction.  The Dollar General Marketplace on S Capitol AV is coming along very quickly.  Watch the Corydon Town Hall Facebook page for a new drone video of the DG store every two weeks.

I have attended many new businesses ribbon cuttings this winter and spring.  I attend all that I can and post photos on our Facebook page as well.  Best of luck to all of them!

Finally, I wish the best to my partner at Main Street Corydon, Janelle Amy.  In my time as Town Manager, it has been an absolute honor to work with Janelle.  She has worked so hard to promote the Town and plan events that bring people downtown.  She also brought our Main Street program into National Accreditation.  She is an absolute ROCKSTAR and I hope the Harrison County YMCA appreciates her talents as much as I do.  Best of luck Janelle!

Make sure to check our community calendar on the website for all the events planned in town this year.  Our partners at Mainstreet Corydon have a fabulous list of events ready for you to enjoy.
