Mayor Yochum has confirmed the dates for Christmas in the Park. On Friday December 4th and Saturday December 5th participants will have the opportunity to create a stationary float or Christmas display in Gregg Park.
Instead of the parade driving past you, you will be driving by the parade from the warmth of your own vehicle.
We are working on a live nativity scene and have been told Santa will be making an appearance both evenings. In order to keep Santa healthy for Christmas, there will be no sitting on his lap this year. However, if children want to bring a letter to Santa they will be collected for him to read later.
For those interested in creating a display, please contact the Mayor’s office at 812-882-7285 or download the entry form here:
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
The City of Vincennes has been partnering with INDOT for the last several years in order to utilize a RR Earmark secured by the Mooney administration. This fund was responsible for the reconstruction of the 2nd and Niblack intersection.
The City of Vincennes is now partnering with INDOT and CSX to reconstruct 3 crossings in Vincennes. These projects will finally deplete the remaining funds in this grant. 15th Street, Main Street and Washington Ave. crossings of the North-South track will begin on November 2, 2020. More details regarding closures and detours will follow soon. The Mayors office is excited to fully deplete this grant and maximize our project improvements to these crossings.
Please do not mix limbs or other objects with your leaves, as this will plug up the intake hoses on the leaf vacuums. WE WILL NOT PICK UP PILES OF LEAVES WITH STICKS AND LIMBS MIXED IN.
As a general rule, the department will be unable to pick up limbs during leaf pickup season.
The city’s collection site on Old Terre Haute Road will be open 7:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Monday through Friday for residents to dump their own yard debris, leaves, and limbs. People must empty their containers at the site and take those containers with them.
The day-by-day schedule is tentative and is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, such as mechanical problems as well as the weather. If anyone has any questions regarding the day of their pickup, please contact the office at 885-2520.
After the schedule is completed, all neighborhoods will be covered a second time until the end of the year. After December 30, 2020 all leaves will need to be bagged for pickup.

Round 3 of the Small Business Stabilization Grant Program in Partnership with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs
On April 30, 2020, the City of Vincennes was awarded funding from the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs to launch the Small Business Stabilization Grant Program to provide short-term relief to businesses within the corporate limits of Vincennes that are seeing a reduction in revenue because of COVID-19.
The City of Vincennes recognizes the need to support small businesses that are struggling to access capital and keep their doors open in response to COVID-19.
