The City of Vincennes is targeting out-of-county families to live where they work in the Vincennes area. A survey put out a few years ago shows a sizable number of people work in Vincennes, but live elsewhere.
Part of the reason is a lack of housing in Vincennes and Knox County. Vincennes Mayor Joe Yochum reminds everyone Bierhaus Flats is helping fill the need—especially with Amazon briging 170 more jobs to the county. When it comes to recruiting those already working in Vincennes, Mayor Yochum says they are being targeted too.
A recruitment billboard is set up on Old U-S 50 just east of Lawrenceville in Lawrence County, Illinois. Other incentives are also being offered through K-C-I-E-D to attract new talent to Knox County.
