Entry Level Housing Sample
Earlier this month Bill Hollingsworth, an Affordable Housing Developer, made a presentation to some of the key leaders involved in Culver’s Entry Level Housing Task Force. The presentation was a combination of education for the Task Force members as well as an introduction to his company and the work he has completed in this arena. He is currently working on a building rehabilitation project for an artist enclave which he was able to fit under the Affordable Housing umbrella.
As part of his presentation, he included some pictures of a new construction Affordable Housing project. I thought I would share those pictures here. The Affordable Housing moniker has some negative connotations. This helped dispel that concern with the task force.

The Sand Hill Farm property is under consideration for this project. It would require a PUD zoning in order to complete a project similar to what is shown here, but I think it would be a welcome addition to Culver’s housing stock. At this point Mr. Holllingsworth has made an initial contact and has shown interest in pursuing this project. The task force is hoping to leverage this into additional market based housing as well.
Culver Boys & Girls Club Auction
Easterday Construction Co., Inc. was a sponsor for Friday night’s Culver Boys & Girls Club event. Becky and I attended and, as usual, had a good time.
It is impressive to see the amount of effort put into decorations and other accoutrements for the event. I know from personal observation how much time and effort board member Carol Zeglis puts into the event and I’m sure she is not the only one.
Fletcher Cemetery Veterans Memorial Dedication Announcement
This is a project from last year. We relocated the Veterans Memorial Monument to a new base with a plaza and pedestal bases for additional markers. We donated the installation of a new flagpole including the new concrete flagpole base. If you can’t attend this memorial dedication, please remember our veterans in your own way.
Tax Freedom Day 2015
Today is National Tax Freedom Day for 2015. Fortunately for those of us in Indiana, ours was back around the 18th of April, so this week’s paycheck is ours!
When I was reading this, I ran across this article talking about how poorly Americans did on understanding the U.S. Tax code. I think I got 80%, but I’m going to agree with the article in saying some of the questions were a bit tricky. I knew what they were talking about at least, though maybe not the specifics.
If you choose to read the article, check out some of the comments as well. There was an interesting argument thread between the Taxed Too Much crowd and the Taxes Pay For Benefits group. I tend to lean toward the former, but the latter made a few good points.
Happy Tax Freedom Day!
