Clay County unveils its 'roadmap toward a thriving, sustainable future'
Clay County government and partners on Wednesday unveiled their community plan, which they call 'a bold and collaborative roadmap to guide the county toward a thriving, sustainable future.' The plan was developed through extensive community engagement and input from regional stakeholders. It was made possible through a planning grant from the Wabash Valley Community Foundation and created with input from people across the region. RJL Solutions assisted with the grant application and helped foster regional collaboration. The Clay County Community Plan centers on four pillars: infrastructure, economic development, health and wellness, and community identity, according to a news release. It lays out actionable strategies to address challenges such as aging infrastructure, limited healthcare access, and workforce shortages, while capitalizing on regional growth, tourism potential, and community pride. Said Clay County Commissioner Paul Sinders, 'This plan reflects the voices of our community and lays out a clear path to improve the quality of life for everyone who calls Clay County home. By addressing infrastructure, housing, and broadband access, we're not just planning for tomorrow—we're preparing for decades of growth.' Other speakers at the rollout event included Beth Tevlin of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation and Nick McCollum of the Clay County Chamber of Commerce. The plan is the result of months of research, dialogue, and strategic planning. For more information or to view the Clay County Community Plan, visit

2025 Remarkable Women Winner: Rachel Leslie
FARMERSBURG, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A local leader who teaches, supports, and helps new leaders succeed is the 2025 Remarkable Woman of the year for the Wabash Valley. Every year, WTWO holds a Remarkable Women contest. Viewers are asked to nominate a remarkable woman they know. After receiving dozens of nominations, a panel of judges chose Rachel Leslie as the 2025 winner. 2025 Remarkable Women nominee: Erica Arnold Leslie is the founder of RJL Solutions. The company started with an office in Terre Haute and has grown to include offices in Indianapolis and Evansville. 'When she started putting all of these great young leaders around her, and they got excited, it just ballooned to what it is today,' said Rick Burger with Duke Energy. 2025 Remarkable Women nominee: Lauren Alexander Among the things Leslie's company does is help local governments and organizations make connections with state and federal lawmakers. It allows a community's wants and needs be known, and in return, those needs can hopefully be met. 'It's really nice to have a partner in everything we're working on, and that's what Rachael provides,' said President and CEO of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce Kristin Craig. 2025 Remarkable Women nominee: Kim Cooper Besides helping communities and organizations achieve their goals, Leslie also helps her friends make their dreams come true. Susan Turner is the Director of the Terre Haute Children's Museum. Nearly a decade ago, she received the news that it would be very difficult for her and her husband to ever have a baby. 'I went to Rachel and I told her what the doctors had said and I said, I don't know how we're ever going to afford to adopt a baby because it's really expensive and she said, don't worry about the money, we'll figure it out,' explained Susan Turner. 2025 Remarkable Women nominee: Meredith Osburn Turner says Leslie held a fundraiser at her house. The $3,000 raised was seed money Turner and her husband needed to adopt Max. He became their son at four days old and that was more than 7 years ago. It was for all of these things and many others that Rachel Leslie was nominated as a Remarkable Woman. 'It's not something that you don't think is going to happen during your lifetime,' added Rachel Leslie. As the winner of WTWO's Remarkable Women contest, $1,000 will be donated to the charity of Leslie's choice. She will also be flown to Los Angeles, to be part of the National Remarkable Women's contest sponsored by Nexstar Broadcasting. The winner of the national contest gets $25,000 donated to a charity of her choice. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
