Rose-Hulman to host 2025 Rose Show
VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Rose-Hulman University will be showcasing student projects by hosting what they call a 'collegiate version of the World's Fair.'
The Rose Show first started in 1928, and since then it has been a showcase for projects that fill needs within organizations, society and individual clients.
This year, the university said more than 130 different projects will be showcased at the Rose Show. The projects will be presented by first-year students through graduating seniors.
'This year, student projects have included an open-source educational robotics kit, a transitional housing shelter for people navigating homelessness, a stream table for the Montessori Academy of Terre Haute, a reclining wheelchair, local city infrastructure redevelopments, and a motion mat to enhance a child's upper body movement and cognitive development, among dozens of others,' said Rose-Hulman University.
The Rose Show will be held on Wednesday, May 7, from 1-3 p.m. in the fieldhouse area of Rose-Hulman's Sports and Recreation Center.

State Treasurer announces partnership between Hoosier Care and INvestABLE
FARMERSBURG, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Indiana's State Treasurer Daniel Elliot announced a new incentive for residents who are covered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield's Hoosier Care Connect program. Those Hoosiers covered by the program who also have an INvestABLE Indiana account will have their Indiana Value Added Benefit raised to $75, effective immediately. This covers any Hoosier Care Connect members who have made their INvestABLE account within the last year. 'I'm excited to see Anthem stepping up to support Hoosiers with disabilities through INvestABLE Indiana,' said Treasurer Daniel Elliott. 'This partnership is about real people getting real tools to build a better future. ABLE accounts give folks the chance to save, plan, and live more independently—and that's something worth celebrating.' INvestABLE Indiana is a way for Hoosiers with disabilities to save and invest money without losing benefits like SSI and Medicaid. The organization offers eight savings and investment options, as well as a checking account option with a debit card. You can save up to $19,000 yearly in an account with a maximum balance of $450,000. Hoosiers with SSI can save up to $100,000 a year. Money can be withdrawn from the account for qualified expenses, or you can choose to grow it with tax-free earnings. 'At Anthem, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to build greater independence and financial security,' said Lynn Scott, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana's Medicaid President. 'By increasing this incentive, we're reinforcing our commitment to Hoosier Care Connect members and supporting them in taking meaningful steps toward long-term stability and empowerment.'

Vigo Co. Commissioner raises concerns with solar farm project
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Tuesday, the Vigo County Commissioners held their monthly meeting, and one of the main talking points was the progress of Derivia Energy's Hoosier Solar Farm Project. The solar farm project will be a 175-megawatt solar farm that is strong enough to power nearly 135,00 homes between Vigo and Sullivan Counties. Vigo County Commissioner Mike Morris brought up some concerns with the project because Derivia has received a property tax abatement for the project. Something Morris said isn't worth it for the county with how much they have invested. Vigo County Council approves mandate of court employee salary raises 'They said we are going to get $2 million over the lifetime of it. The lifetime is 35 years, that means we get $57,000 a year, possibly. So, I think for that kind of investment, they got a $250 million investment, I think that the county deserves a little more income of that revenue-generating process,' said Morris. Derivia Energy representatives said the project should start construction by the end of 2025 or early 2026, and expect the full project to be completed by late 2027.
