Editorial:

For those celebrating the arrival of Target, I want to remind you of what this and other “economic developments” have cost our community. Leap frog development is when a community continues to invest in new developments rather than maintaining and improving what they have.

Vigo County clearly started this process decades ago when they started developing the south side while our downtown deteriorated. Then we started developing the east side, and “redeveloping” our crumbling downtown.

The effect of this continuous development is hard to see, but easier to feel when tax time rolls around. We receive state and federal incentives for the new developments, but then the city and county are on the hook for maintaining all of that new infrastructure.

This truly is an, “if you build, they will come” strategy to community development. But unlike the movie, this story usually does not have a happy ending. Communities become overly reliant on these state and federal incentives, and taxes continue to rise.

This strategy only benefits the financial investors and the real estate developers. It does not benefit our community, especially the most vulnerable. Remember the biggest obstacle to improving our schools was the money we’ve had to spend building bigger jails.

The Terre Haute Fire Department’s IPI Division has ruled the fire at Harrison Apartments as ACCIDENTAL.
The resident of the originating apartment safely evacuated and immediately began alerting neighbors. Their quick actions—along with the assistance of THPD officers and our firefighters who helped with additional evacuations—ensured that no serious injuries occurred.
Firefighters were performing an interior fire attack and aggressive search when the roof collapsed, forcing crews to withdraw from the structure for safety.
We are grateful for the coordinated efforts of residents, THPD officers, and our firefighters, whose actions helped prevent a far more tragic outcome.
