Jeffersonville's 10th and Spring Project...

One of the BatBlog's readers inquired about an update on the 10th and Spring (gateway area) project(s). Maybe Mayor Moore will give us any planning and potential projects that may be in the works. The BatBlog is unaware of anything happening right now.

  A couple of earlier proposed deals have been cancelled...these things happen, developer financing falls through, parties have differing ideas, this is not uncommon. Cooperation and what works best for the city is what is most important.

The BatBlog feels a grand, huge project isn't totally necessary as this potentially could create traffic concerns but we will leave it up to Mayor Moore and his team to decide. Their planning has so far in his term  been impeccable and the rapid progress and growth of Jeffersonville's amenities, jobs, housing options and retail shopping is unparalleled in Jeff's history.

 It's not how quick or soon this "gateway" project get's done it's making sure it's the right fit for the new Jeffersonville....

Happy Thanksgiving from The BatBlog...

HT and the staff here at the "award winning" BatBlog would like to wish all our readers a Happy and safe Thanksgiving and present our annual depiction of the 1st cyber Thanksgiving...

The Utica Billboard Issue....

 

While the BatBlog doesn't necessarily like billboards, especially in scenic areas. We believe if the town of Utica  followed all the legal procedures necessary they should have every right to lease their land and receive some of the revenue the billboards produce....and who gives a rat's ass what River Ridge thinks...

 There appears to be lots of twist and turns to this story and possible some dirty politics involved but bottom line is if this is legally Utica land ??? they can do what the hell they please with it. If River Ridge doesn't like it they can pony up the money buy out Utica and Outfront Media (the sign company.)

Unfortunately it looks like River Ridge wants to play the 500 pound legal Gorilla, flex there monetary and political muscles in court against small town Utica with their meager funds and zero political pull to fight potentially lengthy court battles.

Here'e hoping little Utica kicks the Gorilla (River Ridge) square in the balls and prevails either thru proper monetary compensation or wins their legal battles. The bad thing is River Ridge has that political muscle and well Utica is Utica...

Meanwhile The BatBlog is looking at purchasing advertising space on one of the billboards already constructed and River Ridge can kiss our Bat ass !!!

Local Authors

 The BatBlog would like to give a thumbs up to two local authors both of whom currently have their books on the market. Former Jeffersonville police officer Jack Fleeman has a new book just recently released and available on Amazon CLICK HERE titled Jeff Cop....

Also former Judge and local attorney Dan Moore has a novel out titled Your Honor available at yourhonor.com  CLICK HERE... and Amazon CLICK HERE...

 Both these gentlemen are well respected in their fields and as members of our community,  and with their long experiences in law enforcement and the justice system these should be good reads and The BatBlog invites readers to check them out. We also wish both of them them Good Luck with their new endeavors in the literary field....
