READI Projects

Supported by a $580,000 READI award toward its $2.9 million expansion, the Children's Museum of Evansville fully renovated the Quack Factory, launched new mascots Moe and Millie, and introduced “Moe-to-Go,” a mobile museum delivering hands-on learning across the community. Through 2026, cMoe’s Strategic Plan will enhance exhibits, create immersive experiences, and deepen family and youth engagement — strengthening regional quality of place and long-term vitality.

The Junior Achievement of Southwestern Indiana Discovery Center is becoming a reality, backed by a $1.75 million READI award and strong regional partnership. The new 24,000-square-foot, two-story facility on Evansville’s east side will provide students in grades 4–12 with hands-on career exploration, financial literacy training, and entrepreneurial learning.
