Doing Good for Vermillion
Grow Vermillion is the VCDC’s $1.5 Million capital campaign to further develop the Vermillion area and improve quality of life in the community. With the community's help, we're able to pursue the following goals:
Our Projects
To achieve our goals, we're focusing on three areas of improvement: Housing Development, Workforce & Talent Recruitment, and Community Enhancement. We’re excited to continue our momentum with bold new investments in housing, talent, businesses, and civic projects. Because community is always a worthy investment.
A 2022 study concluded Vermillion’s housing supply is inadequate for current and future needs. We plan to address these needs with strategic investments in new and existing properties. Additional development of owner-occupied and rental properties will help our workforce and population continue to grow and thrive.
We’re also working to leverage Vermillion’s community of hardworking individuals to help grow businesses in all sectors, including manufacturing, service, healthcare, and education. We will continue to expand our efforts to develop the working population and increase accessibility to childcare.
The final leg of the campaign is the improvement of quality of life in Vermillion. We're putting money toward recreation, promoting events, and supporting arts and cultural activities.
