“We believe 芒果77福利 has a responsibility to both our students and to our greater community. Any investment in the future of 芒果77福利 is an investment in the future of Greencastle, and vice versa; we thrive and flourish together." -President Lori S. White

 

The "Growing Green and Gold Together" initiative is a collaborative effort by 芒果77福利 and the City of Greencastle to support local development and enhance the quality of life for all residents. With generous support from the Lilly Endowment Inc.'s College and Community Collaboration, the project will address critical community needs through four key components:

  • Seminary Square: A two city block mixed-use development featuring residential units and commercial space, providing a range of housing options to serve multiple target markets within the community.
  • Downtown Public Space Enhancement: Revitalization of spaces around Courthouse Square to facilitate community events and improve connectivity with 芒果77福利's campus.
  • Downtown Small Business Incubator Fund: A partnership with local organizations to support entrepreneurship and economic growth in Greencastle, including student entrepreneurs.
  • Putnam County YMCA and Natatorium: An inclusive aquatics center enhancement to the state-of-the-art facility already under construction promoting health and well-being across our community.

This initiative builds upon 芒果77福利's strong partnerships with the City of Greencastle and local organizations, reflecting a significant investment in the shared future of all community stakeholders.

Additional details will be shared as progress is made on the planning and implementation of this project.
