Terre Haute is a nice city that has the potential to be a Great City! We need to get more grant money to fix up our neighborhoods, fix our streets they are horrible, curb appeal and sidewalks need fixed badly. Positives we have a caring community, Law enforcement works good with members of the community. We are developing out east on the 46 corridor. The developers are ignoring the Haute city mall area. We need to get more and better jobs in the Terre Haute area like high tech jobs , high manufacturing jobs. The business people will say that we cant get employees! The reason for that is because they pay low wages you put a good livable wage out there you will have people move here. We need to cater to the job market that are 4 university's cater too. I see far more positives than negative things for Terre Haute. We have a pretty good park system in Vigo county! We need to make a new swimming pool/ splash park maybe a lazy river at Deming park. I would rate us at 7.5 out of 10!
Terre Haute is an excellent place to raise a family. With many elementary, middle and high schools to choose from, as well as low costs for houses, it is easy to get a job and buy a house. There are numerous dining places and multiple grocery stores located throughout the city. Terre Haute is also the birthplace of the contour Coca-Cola bottle shape, as well as the famous brand Clabber Girl! The city is home to Indiana State University, which is located in its heart. On the outskirts it also holds Ivy Tech Community College. This provides college students excellent ways to reach town businesses and utilize public transportation. Overall, this town is perfect for just about any person or family, no matter their stage of life.
Terre Haute is a smaller city in Indiana. It is older there isn’t too much that has changed. What I like about Terre Haute is that it has character and history. I also think that Indiana State University plays a huge part in symbolizing the area and feel that without it Terre Haute just would not be the same. A few changes I would suggest in Terre Haute include some modernization and added opportunities for the communities. Though there are many things here there aren't enough for today’s society. Specifically the younger generation that is. I hear a lot of older people talking about how much terre haute has changed since it’s prime and how popular and booming it used to be. I think by bringing some more companies and activities found in bigger cities to Terre Haute, that prime time could be restored; But overall living in Terre Haute has been a fine experience.
