Over the next few weeks, park crews will be removing the current playground equipment at Homestead Park to prepare for brand-new equipment coming this spring! 🎉 We appreciate your patience during this transition and look forward to bringing an updated, fun, and safe play space for our community to enjoy.

Dear Residents and Friends of Greendale, As we step into 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments of 2024 and share the exciting plans and projects that lie ahead for this year. The past year was marked by a lot of progress, setting the stage for even greater achievements in the year to come. First, I would like to congratulate Greendale, Dillsboro, and Dearborn County on being one of two recipients of the 2025 Stellar Award. This $2.7 million grant will primarily fund streetscape upgrades on lower Ridge Avenue, a key component of Greendale’s Main Street master plan. In 2024, Greendale parks saw several significant upgrades, including improvements to the basketball courts and the paving of the Schnebelt Pond walkway. Additionally, plans are underway for the construction of six new pickleball courts and a new tennis court at the site of the old tennis courts. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Park Board and city employees for their remarkable efforts in decorating our parks this December—the results were truly outstanding! On the financial front, the Greendale Redevelopment Commission signed an agreement projected to generate over $7 million in tax revenues over the next 25 years. A majority of these funds will be committed to the Greendale Beautification Fund at the Dearborn Community Foundation. This fund will provide resources in perpetuity for initiatives such as cleaning homes and façade improvements for Greendale residents, ensuring long-term benefits for our community. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be a transformative year for Greendale: St. Elizabeth’s new hospital is expected to break ground in March. With the support of the 2024 READI Grant and the Greendale Redevelopment Commission, a $36 million, 176-unit market-rate apartment complex will begin construction. Additionally, a $17 million, 88-room Hilton Home2 Suites will be developed adjacent to the Greendale Cinema. A European based company intends to locate their new North American Headquarters in Greendale bringing approximately 80 new jobs. In infrastructure, the City is completing soccer field paving and water runoff improvements to ensure a safe water supply for residents. In 2024, the City made significant investments in infrastructure by upgrading critical sewer infrastructure along Belleview. Additionally, efforts are underway to evaluate options for upgrading or replacing the city’s current water plant, which has served the community for over 70 years. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is addressing traffic concerns at the Belleview, US 50, and I-275 intersection. Short-term improvements are planned for this year, including changes to allow two lanes from Belleview to merge onto the expressway simultaneously. A complete redesign of the intersection is scheduled to take place in seven years. Finally, we are exploring options for over-55 housing developments and affordable senior housing to meet community needs. Thank you for your continued support. As we reflect on the successes of 2024, I look forward to working together to achieve even greater things in 2025 and beyond. Sincerely, Vince Karsteter

Understanding Your Water Quality: UCMR 5 Testing Results The City of Greendale is committed to keeping our community informed about the quality of your drinking water. As part of this effort, we regularly conduct water quality testing, including monitoring for unregulated contaminants under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Unregulated Contaminants Monitoring Rule (UCMR). In September 2023 and September 2024, we collected samples to test for 29 PFAS compounds (man-made chemicals found in various products) and lithium. This testing helps determine whether additional regulations might be needed to ensure the safety of your drinking water in the future. What Are UCMR 5 and PFAS? UCMR 5:  The fifth cycle of the EPA’s program to monitor contaminants that are currently unregulated but may require future regulation. PFAS Compounds:  Often called "forever chemicals," these substances can persist in the environment and may have health implications. Testing for PFAS is an essential step in understanding their presence in our water supply. How Can You Access the Results? We want to ensure that everyone has access to this important information. Here are two easy ways to review the UCMR 5 results: Contact Us Directly:  Call the Greendale Utilities Office at 812-537-2125  for assistance. Check Online:  Visit the EPA’s UCMR Data Finder page at https://www.epa.gov/dwucmr/fifth-unregulated-contaminant-monitoring-rule-data-finder#data-finder  and enter our Public Water System (PWS) number: IN5215003 .
