Huge election evening (in Batesville)

Batesville, that charming little Independence County city on the White River, will quickly be extra charming.

Voters handed measures Tuesday to put money into parks, recreation and water infrastructure. The splashiest piece of the development package deal is a reimagining of a riverfront recreation space so as to add a skatepark, amphitheater and tennis courts.

Possibly it’s not fairly as headline-grabbing as the big Ohio coup, however preserving Lyon School’s hometown quaint, welcoming and useful is vital, too.

With yesterday’s vote, Riverside Park and Batesville’s Downtown Plaza are slated for a glow-up, and the city’s outdated water remedy plant might be changed.

Kudos to Batesville Chamber of Commerce CEO Crystal Johnson for her management in passing 4 vital points (water & parks) by important margins. @johnwhiteside. Huge wins for America’s Greatest Hometown. @LyonCollege

The 4 funding measures handed handily after a “Building a Better Batesville” social media marketing campaign made the case throughout social media channels.
