Where are they on that project: The Vault on Main
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – After years of wondering and waiting, there is now substantial growth and progress in downtown Evansville as The Vault on Main gets closer and closer to completion. The update from project officials: The Vault on Main remains on schedule. Crews with CRG Residential say the building's framing is roughly 50 percent complete. Workers are now adding windows, roofing systems, as well as electric and plumbing inside.
Once complete, the downtown lot will house 161 residential units, ground floor retail space and around 180 underground parking spaces. Land at 4th and Main streets is expected to be used as a public park. A project spokesperson says that retail space will soon be listed for leasing.

Work on the underground parking space is nearing completion, as well, with crews adding final touches of lighting, signage and utilities. This substantial progress comes 3 and a half years after the 420 Main building came tumbling down, leading into a period of uncertainty for the lot. But now, an end date is in sight, with a clear view of an idea quickly taking shape.
Costs for the nearly $60 million project remain on track, with CRG saying early material ordering has prevented any issues or disruptions related to recent tariffs. Pre-leasing for prospective residents is expected to begin in the Spring of 2026, with The Vault on Main planned to open to those residents later that Summer. The latest update from CRG Residential, provided on May 22, 2025, is available below.

Gov. Beshear announces children's hospital plans, storm recovery and more
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Governor Andy Beshear provided an update on economic development, steps taken to fight federal cuts to AmeriCorps and SNAP, severe weather recovery and more. Officials note Gov. Beshear acknowledged Women Veterans Recognition Day and named women veterans as this week's Team Kentucky All-Stars. Economic development Gov. Beshear joined Norton Healthcare in Louisville to announce its plans to build a new pediatric care campus that will include a full-service hospital for children with complex medical needs, research facilities and expanded specialty services. The project marks a major expansion for the Louisville-based health care system and will feature its second free-standing, dedicated children's hospital. The new hospital is expected to employ more than 1,000 people. On June 13, Gov. Beshear says he plans to join local officials and company leadership from BE&E, which is a material handling equipment supplier, to break ground on the company's new $16.2 million facility. The Muhlenberg County operation, which will be located in the Paradise Regional Industrial Park, will create 250 new Kentucky jobs. FEMA continues sending aid to Kentuckians impacted by April storms Juneteenth Gov. Beshear said there will be no Team Kentucky update on June 19, as the commonwealth will be recognizing Juneteenth as an executive branch holiday. Following the Governor's executive order last year, Kentucky is officially marking Juneteenth as an executive branch holiday for the second time. 'This is an important day in our history as Americans. A day where we stand united in acknowledging our past, and our nation's greatest injustice. A day where we honor the collective courage of African Americans who paved the way for real, meaningful change. And a day where we give thanks that the moral arc – at long last – bent toward justice,' said Gov. Beshear. 'I hope everyone will join me in spending Juneteenth as a day of reflection, remembering how far we've come and acknowledging that the fight for progress marches on.' Pritzker defends Illinois' sanctuary laws, blasts Trump administration 'abuses of power' Text message scam alert Gov. Beshear warned Kentuckians of a popular scam consisting of fraudulent text messages impersonating state agencies. The scam messages warn customers of unpaid traffic tickets and say that a 'DMV violation' will be reported and 'driving privileges' will be suspended if payment is not sent immediately. Officials say if anyone receives one of these texts, they should not not click the link. Even if the web address looks like it belongs to a government agency, the text is a scam. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet does not collect traffic ticket fees or notify customers of violations, and Team Kentucky is taking steps to have the fraudulent websites taken down. FEMA assistance extended for Kentuckians affected by April storms Driver Licensing Gov. Beshear shared that currently, over 39% of Kentuckians have REAL IDs, compared to 33% at the end of last year. TSA reports that 93% of those going through checkpoints at Kentucky-based airports are REAL ID compliant. To learn more about getting a REAL ID, please go here. Remember, a passport, passport card, global entry card, military ID and Veteran Health Identification Card are among the several forms of REAL ID compliant identification. Officials say since House Bill 15 went into effect, which lowered the age at which Kentuckians can obtain a drivers permit from 16 to 15 years old, 15,403 15-year-olds have successfully passed the written test and obtained their driving permit. AmeriCorps and SNAP Gov. Beshear updated Kentuckians on steps his administration is taking to fight cuts from the federal government. Last week, Gov. Beshear, along with several state attorneys general and another governor, secured a preliminary injunction in a legal challenge against President Trump's attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps, the nation's public service agency. This means the federal government must restore funding for AmeriCorps programs. Officials say this week, Gov. Beshear sent a letter to Kentucky's Congressional delegation outlining his concerns with proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). More than 600,000 Kentuckians rely on SNAP to supplement their food budgets every month. This represents 13% of the commonwealth's population, or roughly 1 in every 8 Kentuckians. Gov. Beshear said cuts to the program would leave Kentuckians hungry. He urged Kentucky's federal delegation to consider the impact cuts would have on Kentucky's children, seniors, individuals with medical conditions, disabilities and those still recovering from disasters. Webster County dispatch centers officially consolidate Severe Weather Recovery Gov. Beshear provided an update on severe weather recovery in the commonwealth. Since the commonwealth received approval, FEMA has disbursed over $1.4 million in assistance. The deadline to apply for disaster assistance is July 23. Officials say for the May event, there currently are still five injured people at the University of Kentucky Hospital: one in critical condition, one in serious condition and three in good condition. At Levi Jackson Wilderness Road Park, 93 households are being housed in travel trailers. In terms of the Tri-State, Gov. Beshear says for residents in Union County who were affected by severe weather on May 16, June 12 is the last day they can apply for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) benefits. If anyone from Union County has yet to apply, they should call 1-855-306-8959 before 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. As of June 10, 186 households had been approved for benefits totaling over $131,000. Officials say for the April floods, so far, more than $22 million in Individual and Households Assistance has been disbursed. The deadline to apply has been extended to July 25. For February severe weather, more than $47 million in federal assistance has been disbursed. The deadline to apply was May 25. Gov. Beshear reminded Kentuckians and anyone else who would like to help that the Team Kentucky Storm Relief Fund is open for monetary donations. Funds will help to support recovery including paying for funeral expenses for those lost in disasters. To donate, go here. So far, the fund has raised more than $1.9 million in donations from 7,128 donors, including a generous $150,000 donation from Shop Local Kentucky. FOS has beds available for women needing substance abuse help Team Kentucky All-Stars Gov. Beshear acknowledged Women Veterans Recognition Day and named women veterans as this week's Team Kentucky All-Stars. 'We recognize and celebrate the incredible women who sacrificed their time and their health, and often faced danger to protect us,' said Gov. Beshear. 'Women have proudly served this country for generations. But it was not until after World War II that women were able to serve as permanent members of the armed forces and officially be recognized as veterans. We are committed to telling their stories and ensuring they are never forgotten.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

UE receives $33K in grants for visual arts and student experience
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – The University of Evansville (UE) Department of Art has received $33,000 in grants from the Efroymson Family Fund. UE says this funding will enhance visual arts programming, expand UE's permanent art collections and provide career-building experiences for students during the 2025-2026 academic year. UE says a grant of $23,000 will support four core initiatives: the Efroymson Emerging Contemporary Artist Lecture Series, a marketing intern, a Bridge Year Fellowship and a Permanent Collections Intern. A separate $10,000 grant will fund the acquisition and exhibition of urban and street art. Bike camp gives children chance to learn how to ride a bike 'This continued support allows us to grow meaningful opportunities for our students while strengthening our presence in the regional art community,' said Todd A. Matteson, Chair and Associate Professor of Art. 'We are deeply grateful to the Efroymson Family Fund for investing in our vision for the future of the arts at UE.' Officials say now entering its fourteenth year, the Emerging Contemporary Artist Lecture Series brings practicing artists from across the country to campus for multi-day residencies. These artists engage directly with students, share insights into their practice and exhibit work in the Melvin M. Peterson Gallery. High schoolers get glimpse into energy, cyber-security jobs UE says the Bridge Year Fellowship provides recent graduates with studio space, mentoring opportunities and teaching experience, preparing them for advanced study or professional careers in the arts. Marketing and Permanent Collections internships offer hands-on roles in gallery promotion, collections management and event planning. Officials say the additional $10,000 grant will allow the department to grow its new collection of urban and street art. Recent acquisitions include works by Shepard Fairey, Dot Dot Dot and Joachim, gifted from the collections of Dan Mason and John Nordgauer. The funding will support further acquisitions, conservation efforts, and related programming. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
