WTIU News is producing a new television special on the Indiana University women’s basketball team and its remarkable 2022-23 season. IU Women’s Basketball: Rising to the Top premieres Thursday, March 23 at 8 p.m. on WTIU.
This half-hour program introduces viewers to the team and head coach Teri Moren, who has built a nationally ranked program in her nine seasons—having the best regular season in history this year. The show also explores the impact the team is having on women’s basketball in the state. Led by veteran players Mackenzie Holmes and Grace Berger and newcomers Sydney Parrish and Yarden Garzon, the Hoosiers finished the season 27-3 and won their first Big Ten title since 1983. The 27 wins are the most in program history.

The City of Bloomington is pleased to announce another Expanded Outdoor Dining season. This program closes 2 ½ blocks of Kirkwood Avenue to all for expanded outdoor dining and a pedestrian thoroughfare, and parklets, which expands outdoor dining in parking spaces closed off by orange jersey barriers directly outside the participating businesses in the downtown area.
The City Council voted unanimously in favor of this year’s closure on March 1. The 2023 season will run from April 3-September 30. Installation of bollards and barriers will take place between April 3rd and 5th. In addition to expanded outdoor seating, the program brings economic enhancement, vibrancy, and sustainability to our pedestrian-friendly community. This program was first passed in 2020 as a COVID measure that gave restaurants relief from internal capacity constraints; it continued in 2022 and will continue this year. Bloomington will receive $1.8 million in Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI)funding for construction on Jackson Street as part of the new Hopewell neighborhood. This housing investment was approved by the Indiana Uplands READI Steering Committee and the Regional Opportunity Initiatives (ROI) Board of Directors, and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The Indiana Uplands is an 11-county region encompassing Brown, Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, Orange, Owen, and Washington counties.
The City of Bloomington is redeveloping the 24-acre site now known as Hopewell, formerly the location of IU Health Bloomington Hospital and surrounding properties. READI funding will support the design and construction of a 350-foot portion of Jackson Street as a brand-new corridor for housing in the diverse neighborhood in downtown Bloomington. The vision for Hopewell includes a number of housing designs and density types for all income levels, including increasing owner-occupied and rental workforce housing. Read more about the Hopewell project at hopewellbloomington.org. “Buying Hopewell lets us rebuild from the ground up a new neighborhood in our downtown – and this grant accelerates the process,” said Mayor John Hamilton. “We will restore a city-scale grid of streets and sidewalks to support a mix of housing types built for sustainability and affordability. We are delighted to have READI support in realizing this dynamic vision.”
