Most Livable
Several years ago, the City of Elkhart was named one of America's Most Livable Cities.  We think it was because our vibrant business climate, family friendly neighborhoods, and unique blend of exciting things to see and do make Elkhart a great place to live, work and visit.  There's a lot to discover in Elkhart, so we welcome you to our informative, interactive web site that will help you navigate our lively, energetic community.

The broadband internet connection is the result of a joint effort between the City and INOVA, with INOVA providing the wireless internet service and the City providing the equipment and antennas necessary to distribute the signal to the immediate downtown area.  See Story
 

GROUP RECOMMENDS BOLD STEPS FOR ELCO
Calling it "The Next Bold Step" for downtown Elkhart, a team of community leaders unveiled a plan for the city's Arts and Entertainment District, with a renovated Elco at its center.
400 Block Exterior
Preliminary 400 Block Exterior Design - Elco Theater
The plan was the product of the 400 Block Study Group, commissioned last summer to craft a workable plan for the Elco and surrounding area. After nearly 2,000 volunteer hours by nearly 100 volunteers, the Study Group presented the final plan to the Mayor at a news conference on April 12, 2007. Highlights of the report include a renovated Elco Theater that will incorporate an expanded lobby and new multi-use facility in the former Sorg building. The new facility will accommodate events like proms, weddings and business parties while the theater continues to host a full schedule of performances.
 
Patrons to the new Elco facility could generate an estimated $1 million in downtown economic activity.
