Members of Bloomington’s community joined together on Thursday, March 28 to celebrate the installation of The Forge’s final steel beam. This ‘Topping Off’ Ceremony represents a major milestone for The Forge construction project.
Participants included Mayor Kerry Thomson, John Fernandez, Senior Vice President, Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at The Mill, The Mill staff and board members, Redevelopment Commissioners, Trades District Advisory Board, BEDC, Weddle Bros, Building Associates, as well as other community leaders. The Forge at Trades District is a new, 22,000 square-foot, sustainably designed building that will provide Class A office space for Bloomington’s growing tech sector. The project is funded by a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), and $9.3 million in matching funds from the City of Bloomington.  Join Comprehensive Financial Consultants for their annual Shred Day on Thursday, May 2nd, from 2:00-5:00pm - a chance to get rid of all those old papers at home stuck in closets, file cabinets and boxes in the attic.
This is a free community event, with drive-thru service. Participants should bring papers (in bags and boxes, please) to 674 South College Avenue on Thursday, May 2, from 2:00-5:00pm. Shredding and Storage Unlimited will have their shredding truck on-site to have any sensitive documents destroyed. The City of Bloomington’s Department of Economic and Sustainable Development is providing technical assistance and grant funding up to $25,000 for organizations and small businesses to improve building efficiency and install solar through the 2024 Solar, Energy Efficiency, & Lighting (SEEL) Program. Nonprofits, community organizations, and small businesses are invited to apply beginning March 28.
Nonprofit organizations, schools, early childhood centers, healthcare facilities, grocery stores, and small businesses with under 500 full-time employees that own at least one facility within city limits are eligible to participate. If an organization rents its facility, the organization is eligible to participate with permission to participate in the program from the property owner. A building owner form will be required to verify eligibility. Organizations completing solar projects will receive a solar feasibility assessment from the SEEL program partner, MPI Solar, and a $25,000 grant for an 8 kW minimum solar system installation or addition. Solar applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all funding has been allocated.

On behalf of Indiana Members Credit Union (IMCU) members, IMCU recently presented a check for $10,000 to Project 44 as part of its exclusive Cancer Awareness Debit Card Program. IMCU members nominate a different local cancer related organization to be the beneficiary each year.

IMCU presented the check to board members of Project 44 on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. “In our Mission to save lives through bone marrow and blood stem cell donation, this incredible gift from IMCU will help to fuel our efforts to raise critical awareness for the national bone marrow registry,” said Krissi Edgington, Co-Founder, Project 44. “Every ‘Yes’ is a vital part in giving those battling blood cancer a fighting chance at life, and being part of a community that cares so deeply allows us to create many more of those chances.”  Please join us as we celebrate and support DSI's ongoing work to provide services and supports to individuals with disabilities by taking part in our Art of Wine event!

Ivy Tech Community College Bloomington radiation therapy student, Braden Ballard, has been named a 2024 New Century Workforce Scholar and will receive a $1,500 scholarship. Over 2,200 students from more than 1,300 college campuses nationwide were nominated and only one New Century Workforce Scholar was selected from each state.
The scholarship is the first of its kind to support students at associate degree-granting institutions on a national scale as they plan to enter the workforce upon completing a degree or certificate. The program is sponsored by The Coca-Cola Foundation and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. “Winning the 2024 New Century Workforce Scholarship from the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation is an incredible honor. Beyond the financial assistance it provides for my education, this achievement validates my hard work and dedication to my academic and career pursuits,” Ballard said. “This scholarship opens doors to opportunities I may not have had access to otherwise, allowing me to further my education and pursue my career aspirations with confidence.”  WFIU Public Radio’s weekly radio program and podcast The Poets Weave reaches a milestone this Sunday when its 1,000th episode airs on March 31.
The Poets Weave was created in 2006 by Jenny Kander, who produced and hosted the program until 2009. After moving from South Africa to Bloomington in 1992, Kander promised herself that she would take poetry classes—something she never had time for previously. This began her influence in the Bloomington community as the “poetry lady,” a title she says she adores. LuAnn Johnson, producer of The Poets Weave, is grateful to Kander for starting the program and showcasing the work of local poets. WHAT: Mark D.
