The guest speaker for August was Bob Grewe, the new executive director of the Vermillion Rise Mega Park. The mega park has more than 7,000 acres and offers rail services, electrical services, natural gas, large volumes of high quality water, and a remote location. The park now has a shell building available as well with ceilings up to 32 ft and building designs that can easily be changed to fit a company's need. Grewe says that marketing the park and its' resources will be key in furthering the economic development. The Mega Park is partnered with Duke Energy, CSX, the Vermillion County Economic Development Council, and Accelerate which have all played a key part in developing the park.
