City of Madison and Jefferson County receive funding for housing, park and campground

Three projects will be done within Madison and Jefferson County

Our Southern Indiana Regional Development Authority approved projects totaling over eight million dollars  were approved from the $45 million  (READI) funds allocated by (IEDC).

The city of Madison was awarded $3.5 million dollars to create a permanent amphitheater at Bicentennial Park and $2 million to develop housing on property that is owned by the City at Jefferson Street and Vaughn Drive.

Jefferson County was awarded $3 million dollars to develop a Krueger Lake Campground at the former Jefferson Proving Ground.

The City of Madison had requested five million dollars for the project at Bicentennial Park, a commitee will be formed to help with the development of the project. The project could potentially cost nearly seven million dollars.

The proposed Krueger Lake Campground would meet a huge demand for campsites with full amenities and hook ups, with a major new regional park by better utilizing beautiful and accessible county-owned land
