Hamilton Center, Inc. (HCI) will open a 14,000 square foot facility located at 1616 Wabash Ave, Terre Haute, IN. The office was formerly located at 500 Eighth Ave. in Terre Haute.

Remodeling and construction costs for the building were shared between Hamilton Center and the Terre Haute Department of Redevelopment. With six activity rooms, a large community room complete with kitchen and a computer lab, the building will allow the program to expand services, allow clients to access the internet and learn valuable computer skills for future employment. The general contractor was Hannig Construction, Inc.

“We are so excited to provide greater access to our community, improve services and the capacity to increase employment opportunities for people with various needs and disabilities. The facility will allow us to increase the number of clients served, and the types of services we can offer.” said Dr. Cynthia Sartor, Executive Director of Client Support Services for Hamilton Center.

“Vigo County has been very supportive of Hamilton Center through the past 35 years. Our investment in this project reinforces our commitment to the community by allowing us to continue to offer an expansion of services,” said Galen Goode, CEO.

The rehabilitation program serves approximately 150 clients a year. Services include vocational rehabilitation and employment opportunities; home and community-based waivers and day services to persons with disabilities. Inquiries can be addressed at 812-231-8355.
