In March the picturesque waterfront town of Jeffersonville, Clark County’s seat, was awarded a $220,000 state tourism grant for the development of its Arts and Cultural District. The money will be used to create a home for artists, makers, historians, inventors and others to have a workspace in underutilized buildings and green spaces. It’s part of the ongoing revitalization in the city that’s connected to Louisville by foot by The Big Four Bridge.
The second oldest county in Indiana, Clark County was formed in 1801 and was named after Revolutionary War leader Gen. George Rogers Clark. Today, it’s a prime place for business and entertainment.
