Funding for Main Street Corydon in jeopardy…

RECORDING BY LEAH PORTER

Last night the Corydon Town Council heard from Main Street Corydon in regards to their budget and funding going forward. Jim Koerber presented a request from Main Street to the town council of $50,000. This request was passionately debated and no consensus was reached.

The town council is reluctant to provide the funding. Town council president Les Rhoades stated that

“Our revenue from the county is not very much...I don't see how we can give you the $50,000."

As of January 1, 2021, the Town of Corydon has $2.4million in its general fund and $1.3million in riverboat. The general fund saw an increase of $250,000 in the general fund over the course of 2020.
