芒果77福利

Putnam County leaders and citizens joined 芒果77福利 administration, faculty, staff and students at the Union Building ballroom for an update on the Growing Green and Gold Together initiative. The initiative’s executive leadership team, which includes representatives from 芒果77福利 and the City of Greencastle, presented project details, welcomed an important new team member and conducted an audience Q and A session.

Among the specifics discussed were timelines for infrastructure updates, project bidding process and design. Seminary Square multi-use development is in its conceptual phase with requests for proposals expected to get out in early Spring. Implementation teams have been established for Seminary Square as well as downtown development, small business incubation, cinema relocation and the Putnam County YMCA and Aquatics Center respectively.

Jason Chew has been named the initiatives Project Director and Community Liaison. Chew is a Putnam County native and former principal and administrator for the North Putnam School Corporation.

Interested community members are encouraged to participate in this exciting initiative. To volunteer or otherwise get engaged, email growinggreenandgoldtogether@depauw.edu or .
