Vigo County leaders, new homeowners celebrate completion of home program
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The successful completion of the Southard Homes Infill Project #1 was celebrated Monday by community leaders, marking a major milestone in the region's Homes for the FutureProgram.
The event brought together Thrive West Central, in partnership with Southard Homes, LLC, the Wabash River Regional Development Authority (RDA), the City of Terre Haute, and Vigo County to recognize the addition of 15 new, energy-efficient, single-family homes on previously vacant lots throughout the City of Terre Haute. Developed by Billy Southard of Southard Homes, LLC, each home includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and ranges from 1,100 to 1,200 square feet. All 15 homes have been sold, with new homeowners already moved in.
'This project is a testament to the power of local and regional collaboration,' said Ryan Keller, CEO of Thrive West Central. 'Through the Homes for the Future Program, we are not only addressing our region's housing needs—we're investing in families, neighborhoods, and the long-term vitality of Terre Haute. These 15 homes are just the beginning.'
The project was made possible by funding from READI 1.0 and reflected the shared commitment of local, regional, and state partners—including the Wabash River RDA, Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), Mayor Brandon Sakbun, Vigo County Commissioners and both the City and County Councils.
Bill Rennels of the Wabash River Regional Development Authority (RDA) emphasized the broader vision: 'This is what regional investment is all about—turning vacant lots into thriving neighborhoods and funding dreams that lead to real, tangible progress. We're proud to support projects like this that breathe new life into our communities.'

These 5 car colors lose the most value in the Las Vegas Valley, study says
Bad news for owners of vehicles in these five colors. Five car colors in the Las Vegas Valley lose the most in value when it's time to trade-in or sell, according to a study from iSeeCars. The study analyzed over 1.2 million model year 2022 used cars from August 2024 through May 2025 and how much their value depreciated over three-year timelines compared to the manufacturer's suggested retail price. White cars depreciated the most, losing 31.6 percent, a $15,285 difference from the MSRP, according to the study. Black and gray cars finish off the top three, with a 30.9 percent and 29.5 percent depreciation or a $14,915 and $13,230 difference from the MSRP, respectively. "White and black are the two most common car colors, which suggests plenty of people want them," said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer in a statement. "But it also means those colors provide zero distinction in the used market, reducing their value and making it easy for buyers to shop around for the lowest-priced model in these shades." Blue is the next color on the list with a three-year depreciation of 29.3 percent or $13,297 difference from the MSRP, according to the study. Red is the fifth on the list, with a 28.5 percent, three-year depreciation or a $12,449 difference in the retail price. While all cars lose their value, these next five colors have the lowest depreciation. Yellow is the top color in Las Vegas, as well as across the top 50 metro areas, with the highest resale value, according to the study. The three-year depreciation is 22.7 percent, or a $12,947 MSRP difference. Following is green, with a 25.2 percent depreciation and a $12,637 MSRP difference; orange with a 25.3 percent depreciation and a $10,292 MSRP difference; beige with a 26.8 percent depreciation and a $16,811 difference from MSRP; and gold with a 27.1 percent depreciation and a $13,141 MSRP difference. "While bright or obscure colors may not be widely preferred, they tend to be much rarer than mainstream colors on the used market," said Brauer. "This can lead to higher resale value for used vehicles with uncommon colors, where buyer demand outstrips supply." ___ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
