A ceremonial ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday signified completion of the 2nd Street Project in Vincennes.

City Officials, as well as downtown merchants, and members of the public took part in the Ribbon cutting that officially re-opened Second Street.

During a speech, Mayor Joe Yochum thanked all of those that were involved and said that by working together as a city this project was made possible.

The 2-point-3 million dollar project added new sidewalks, street paving, lights and curbing along 2nd between Main and Hart Streets.

The project was made possible through an exchange program that allowed the city to exchange federal tax dollars for state funding.
