The Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs (OCRA), which administers the statewide Indiana Main Street program, released its list of Indiana Main Street award winners yesterday.
Develop New Albany board members previously contributed nominations, and so of course I was aware that Bank Street Brewhouse was under consideration, but color me completely astonished: We've been selected as the Indiana Main Street Business of the Year.
Jeffersonville Main Street also was recognized for its wine and retail walk, and deservedly so, and two of its board members have been recognized for their service.
Wow. The awards ceremony is in Indianapolis at the Statehouse next Friday, and Rich, to answer your question -- I do own a suit, you know, and actually wore it once last year.
Thanks to everyone who had anything to do with this. It's an honor, and quite flattering.

Bravo!!
Well deserved, congrats!
Well deserved.
You will have to tell us some time how you pulled off a conspiracy with both the Mayor AND the Governor.
Roger hacked the Governor's computer.
Congratulations.
It would be interesting to see when a New Albany business last won this recognition.
If ever there was a time when that Bulgarian Navy uniform was needed...
Obviously definitive evidence that Mitch Daniels is a socialists elitist progressive.
congratulations roger . . . it makes me happy to know you are doing well, and that you are also being recognized for it.
....socialists elitist progressive, just like anyone else who might support BSB, whether with a sidewalk improvement or by buying a beer.
Cool, Roger--glad to see your hard work recognized in this way.
I would have gone with New Albany DVD but I guess BSB will have to do.
Congratulations!
Very nice and well deserved!
Dan Chandler's (of DNA) name was ommitted from the list of board members honored by the state this year.
And, over at Facebook, Jane Alcorn posted this, which might answer a question or two.
"Congrats on your Main Street Award. Seeing John Gonder's question on your blog, I was trying to think of some of the past winners. John Waggoner won for his work at the Hornblower building, Carl Holliday and Steve Goodman won for The Parthenon, Rich Robinson and Sam Schad won Board Members of the Year. I think there were more, but that's pretty good company."
