# CIB Main Meeting - 10/28/26

The Vigo County CIB main meeting on October 28, 2026, addressed convention center operations, finances, parking, the Indiana theater, and a proposed sports complex. The board added an RFQ for a construction manager as constructor for the NEI theater to the agenda. A later motion approved a related document in principle, with legal review and authorized edits before it is issued; the transcript does not clearly identify the document, so the approval’s connection to the RFQ is uncertain. The board also approved a museum graphics material sample. No construction contract award was identified.

The board approved a 90-day restaurant parking-validation pilot effective December 1, alongside a rate increase to $2 per hour. A proposed Midwest Elite Sports Foundation complex—including indoor and outdoor facilities—was discussed, with the proponent describing a potential $20 million project and requesting local support. The board made no funding commitment; members requested business and tourism projections, a project timeline, and other supporting information for further review ahead of a later meeting. The financial update noted a planned transfer of $1.5 million in CDs to a Trust Indiana account in January, in addition to $750,000 already deposited. Convention center reporting included 26 contracts out totaling more than $224,000 in potential revenue, not awards.
