Latest News and Announcements
The Annual Water Quality Report for 2021 is now available.
Starting July 16, people anywhere in the U.S. can use the three digit code 988 on their phones, which automatically routes callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen to callers, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.
To learn more about the 988 hotline, visit this website (https://988lifeline.org/). Note too that the current, much longer Lifeline phone number (1-800-273-8255) will always remain available to people in emotional distress or suicidal crisis, even after 988 is launched nationally.
HELP: Looking for Community Input to Leave a Legacy
Dubois County and City of Jasper
Dubois County and the City of Jasper are 1 of 9 Hoosier Communities selected by OCRA for the Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program (HELP). HELP is a 52-week program that builds a Strategic Investment Plan aiming to leave a legacy in our community.
With this program, Dubois County and the City of Jasper have each set aside 30% of their ARPA funds to go towards Legacy Projects, along with OCRA matching up to $1 million. This totals to roughly $4.5 million dollars that we are investing in our community!
To develop Legacy Projects, we need community input! This month we will be holding HELP Open Houses around the county to hear from you. We invite you to stop by at one of our open houses to learn more about the program and give your Legacy Project ideas. Legacy Projects must fall under 1 of the 4 categories: Advancing E-Connectivity, Enhancing Quality of Place, Promoting Community Wellness, and Strengthening Local Economies. We look forward to seeing you there!
