The Waldron Recommendation Task Force has issued a report summarizing its activities, findings, and recommendations for future uses for the circa-1915 building at 122 S. Walnut. The ownership of the building reverted from Ivy Tech Community College–Bloomington to the City of Bloomington in January 2021. The report, available here, will inform the City’s actions with regard to the building’s future.
Convened by Mayor John Hamilton, the task force has been working since November 2020 in preparation for the ownership reversion to provide an evaluation of the building and offer short- and long-term recommendations for its future use. The 21-member task force consulted with eight specialized stakeholder focus groups in January 2021 to develop recommendations for the building’s future uses.

South Carolina becomes the latest region to invest in cybersecurity capacity as foundational to grow the economy, coordinating opportunities from across state government, multiple state universities, local industry, and critical infrastructure.
The University of South Carolina (UofSC) has struck up a partnership with the Palmetto State to develop a statewide cyber-ecosystem aimed at making South Carolina a highly competitive player in the cyber-industry.
The new alliance was announced Thursday, February 4, by South Carolina governor Henry McMaster and the University s president, Bob Caslen. Under the ecosystem, the efforts of South Carolina s public and private organizations operating in the cyber-field will be aligned according to one unified vision.
“The university looks forward to joining government and industry in this critical statewide effort,” said Caslen. “As South Carolina’s flagship university, we are uniquely positioned to help develop the future cyber-workforce the state needs as well as inform stakeholders on emerging cyber-research and best practices that impact security and the state’s economy.”
