our vision

what is a place brand and why do we need one?

The primary goal of this initiative is to generate and elevate a positive perception of Greater Evansville. Based on extensive community listening, the brand is built upon the aspirations you have set for our community.

From your feedback, we created the following vision of Greater Evansville: where vibrant culture and industrial strength come together to create a place where everyone can succeed - where respect for each other and each other's ideas creates opportunity and innovation - through this we become the community of cultural diversity and economic vitality in the Midwest.

Our mission is to create a platform where everyone can connect with someone or something new, find a unique way to contribute to the community, and celebrate together what makes our region great.

what makes us greater evansville?

Greater Evansville channels our energy into creating the kind of change people want to see in their community. We represent the diversity of our stories. Whatever your passion or interest, you can make it happen here.

Greater Evansville is for entrepreneurs, for trailblazers and change-agents, for movers-and-shakers, for people who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, for people who want to make a fresh start, for people who care about making their corner of the world a better place.

Greater Evansville is ready for you to make your mark — from Franklin St. to TEDx to Haynie’s Corner and beyond — the momentum is real. Join us in our journey.
