The Sullivan Central Plaza Corridor project will serve as a gathering space for outdoor events and entertainment. The Central Plaza Corridor includes the Police Department HQ, Sullivan Community Center and Municipal Complex, the Central Plaza Corridor Archway, and Building Improvements. The Central Plaza Corridor started in August of 2021 and its estimated completion date is June 2023. The first phase of this project was completed with the Police Department HQ. READI funds will be used to finish the second phase. Specifically, READI funds will be used towards the construction of City Hall including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, sitework, rough carpentry, finishes, and glazing. Once City Hall is completed, the project will finish with the construction of the Corridor Archway. The City will provide matching funds towards the completion of this project. COVID-19 delayed the Central Plaza Corridor project but emphasized the importance for the Community to have a safe space to gather as well as provide access to tools and resources such as internet service and computers. With the plaza complete, the community will be able to host more outdoor events and activities which will attract a larger audience to Sullivan, Indiana as well as create a hub of activity with the Police Department HQ and City Hall with the addition of the Community Center.
