Overview

Due to severe housing shortages, Knox County is pursuing an aggressive, multi-pronged strategy to upgrade its housing stock. As such, Knox County and Vincennes Water Utilities are partnering with developers on a number of projects, and the proposed Castlebrook Apartments, a multi-family housing development on the southeast side of Vincennes, will help fill the gap in housing units for that area of our community. However, the project cannot move forward without access to sanitary sewer service. The requested funding will be allocated to the provision of this essential infrastructure, to extend municipal sewer service to the site. READI funds in the amount of $1,700,000 will couple with local funds of approximately of $8,700,000 to provide water and sanitary sewer to the development. As part of the development, paths for stormwater will be created, so flooding will not be an issue for the subdivision, or existing homes and businesses in the area. Green technology will be considered and used if available. Approximate timeline is October 2023 to December 2024.
