The Town of Versailles has been awarded a $750,000 grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) to make important improvements to our drinking water system.

The funding will help us:

🔹 Replace aging water meter pits
🔹 Replace water service lines
🔹 Replace water hydrants
🔹 Demolish the old, unused 75,000-gallon water tank

This project was identified as a priority through the Town's Utility Planning Study, completed in 2025 with support from an OCRA planning grant. That study gave us a comprehensive look at our utility infrastructure and helped identify the improvements needed to address aging infrastructure and plan responsibly for the future.

We are grateful to OCRA for this investment in Versailles and to the Southeastern Indiana Regional Planning Commission for their support in making strategic improvements to our water system. These projects aren't always the most visible, but they are critical to maintaining reliable infrastructure and supporting the future of our community.

The Town of Versailles spent the last year working through its first ever Comprehensive Plan through an Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs Planning Grant. Over the last year, a steering committee of residents, business owners, and government officials helped guide this process as information was collected from the community via focus groups, public workshops, and a community survey. The plan is available for review and public comment. Access the plan and share your feedback here: https://www.versaillescompplan.com/

In response to resident concerns about roadway safety, The Town of Versailles applied for and was awarded a Safe Streets and Roads for All grant from the Federal Highway Administration to study the roadway network in Versailles, identify issues, and develop countermeasures to improve safety for all roadway users. Work is underway to collect crash and safety data, including collecting data from our community and those who travel through Versailles via a public survey available here: https://verdantasplanning.com/versaillesss4a/
