The American Public Works Association (APWA) has awarded full accreditation to the City of Bloomington Department of Public Works after evaluators determined the department is 100 percent compliant with all management practices applied to its operations.
The designation makes Bloomington only the second APWA-accredited public works agency in Indiana, joining Fishers. The accreditation remains valid through July 30, 2030. “This took years of work, honest evaluation, and a lot of people pulling in the same direction,” said Public Works Director Adam Wason. “Our staff proved that the way we serve Bloomington meets the highest standards in the profession. I’m incredibly proud of this team and grateful to everyone across the City who helped get us here.” The Thomson Administration has submitted the City of Bloomington’s proposed 2027 budget to the Common Council, beginning a public review process that will continue through early October. The 2027 Budget Book, raw budget data, the approved 2026 budget, and additional information are available at bloomington.in.gov/budget.
The proposal focuses on maintaining the municipal services residents rely on, protecting the City’s existing infrastructure and other public assets, and directing available resources toward housing, homelessness, public safety and economic opportunity. Its broader goal is to support a safe, well-maintained city where residents can find a place to call home, a good-paying job and a community of belonging. The City expects Indiana’s property and income tax changes under Senate Enrolled Act 1 (SEA 1) to reduce local government revenue over the next several years, with greater effects by 2029. The Administration responded with a conservative 2027 proposal and continues to evaluate long-term strategies to preserve essential services. Born at Constellation — now a runaway hit, grossing millions at box offices across North America — see the smash success return to where it all began!Constellation is kicking off its 5th Anniversary Season with the return of Heist, a play originally developed at Constellation that has since gone on to gross millions at theaters across Canada. Now returning to the United States, Constellation is thrilled to produce an updated version of this “Blockbuster come to life” on stage! Directed by Artistic Director Chad Rabinovitz and written by Arun Lakra, Heist is playing September 3 - 20 at the Waldron Auditorium in downtown Bloomington.
Heist follows a band of criminals, torn apart by suspicion and betrayal, that reunites for one last job. The target: a multi-million dollar ruby owned by an international jewel thief. When the plan goes sideways, they slowly realize that when stealing from a thief, there are no rules. Inspired by caper films like Ocean’s Eleven and The Sting, this high-stakes thriller is packed with double-crosses, disguises, and daring escapes. Made possible through a generous commission by Susan & David Jones, Heist was originally developed and produced at the Bloomington Playwrights Project in 2021. The show ran for only three performances before shutting down due to a Covid-19 outbreak. Since then, it has gained popularity, being produced at multiple professional theaters across North America, with five upcoming productions on the horizon, including a co-production between Milwaukee Rep, Cincinnati Playhouse, and Gulfshore Playhouse. Constellation’s is proud to be a part of this new play’s development and is looking forward to bringing it back to Bloomington audiences, in a bigger space with a bolder design and enhanced stage technology. |
