Vincennes City Officials gathered this afternoon to formally dedicate the city’s very first roundabout. The roadway cuts through the heart of the former K-Mart property, which is owned by developer Heath Klein.

Now that the road has been completed, Klein anticipates development of the property will be on the fast track.


Klein indicated he’s also spoken with some local businesses about relocating on the upper half of the property. But he says that probably won’t occur until further down the road.
The Vincennes Redevelopment Commission provided $2 million to construct the roundabout linking Hart and Main Streets.

Following this afternoon’s ribbon cutting, the road was officially open to traffic.
