I&M is extending transmission project
Indiana Michigan Power is extending its ongoing Tillotson Avenue Transmission Line Project in Muncie.
The company, a subsidiary of American Electric Power, announced the extension after damage was found in the existing underground infrastructure. Plans were to install a new power line in an existing underground duct bank, but it was found to be damaged.
A part of a line will need to be rebuilt.
“Our crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to get things back to normal for our neighbors in Muncie,” said Rob Keisling, external affairs manager for I&M, in a press release. “We continue to work with the city and road repaving will be coordinated when the project is complete.”
The company said lane restrictions will stay in place through summer 2025 as the work continues.
Topped out
Reid Health held a topping-out ceremony Wednesday with community leaders to celebrate reaching the highest point of construction of new new $100 million campus in Connersville.
The new facility will span more than 105,000 square feet at 2500 Park Road. It will have an emergency department with a helipad, radiology, pharmacy and laboratory services and a mix of primary and specialty care options, including plans for cardiology, oncology, OB/GYN, orthopedics, podiatry, audiology, wound healing, and ear, nose and throat.
“It’s hard to believe it’s been a little more than two years since we last gathered to mark the formal beginning of this project,” said Reid Health president and CEO Craig Kinyon in a press release. “Back then, all that was here were the crumbling remains of a parking lot. But in the time since, we’ve made remarkable progress.”
Expanding
Walton Enterprises, owner of Walmart, announced Thursday that internal governance of its ownership will expand to include the next generation of the Walton family.
In a press release, the company noted that there will be no changes to current leadership roles held by members of the Walton family.
Funds awarded
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis is awarding $3.2 million in Affordable Housing Grants to four projects supported by Old National Bank.
The grants include $1 million for Building Homes, Community and Hope through Greater Muncie Habitat for Humanity. The grants support the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of properties that support affordable housing initiatives.
“Engaging with, supporting, and strengthening our communities is not only a strategic priority for Old National, but it’s also woven into the fabric of our cultural DNA,” said Kathy Schoettlin, Old National’s chief community, culture and social responsibility officer, in a press release. “We are thrilled to partner with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and these outstanding project sponsors in support of these vital community projects.”
Other projects awarded are in Dale and Evansville along with Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Data compromised
Indiana University Health announced last week that some user data was compromised in a security breach.
The health care organization said limited information was compromised and did not include Social Security numbers or financial data. Details “may have included address, age, medical record number, diagnosis, or other limited treatment information (in the data breach).”
“While there was no financial information or Social Security numbers impacted by this incident, as a precaution, we encourage affected individuals to remain vigilant and verify that anyone who is reaching out about personal and/or health information is a legitimate representative of the organization they say they are associated with,” said IU Health in a press release.
Treatment approved
Eli Lilly’s early Alzheimer’s treatment has been approved by China’s medical regulator, Reuters reported last week.
The treatment will be sold under the brand name Kisunla. It has previously been approved in the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom.
DOJ accuses
The United States Department of Justice announced Wednesday that it has filed suit accusing CVS of filling illegal opioid prescriptions and billing federal health insurance programs.
The complaint from the DOJ alleges that CVS violated the federal Controlled Substance Act for more than a decade beginning in October 2013. It says the company regularly filled prescriptions from doctors running “pill mills.”
CEO selected
Dollar Tree on Thursday announced the appointment of Michael C. Creedon Jr. as its CEO.
Creedon has served as interim CEO since last month. He joined Dollar Tree in 2022 as its chief operating officer.
“Following a search, we are unanimous as a Board in our belief that Mike is the right leader for Dollar Tree,” said Edward (Ned) J. Kelly III, chairman of the Dollar Tree board of directors. “His deep understanding of the business, coupled with his strategic vision and collaborative leadership, has earned the trust and respect of the entire organization. We have full confidence in Mike’s ability to guide the enterprise to growth and success.”
Beland named
Advance Auto Parts on Friday named Michael Beland as its next senior vice president, controller and chief accounting officer.
Beland, who has more than 25 years of experience in accounting and finance, most recently served as senior vice president and chief accounting officer for Driven Brands Holdings. He will take over his new role Jan. 5.
“I am excited to welcome Michael to the Advance family as our new chief accounting officer,” said Ryan Grimsland, Advance executive vice president and chief financial officer, in a press release. “Michael’s strong expertise in accounting and financial management, paired with his familiarity of our industry, will strengthen our finance organization. I look forward to working with him closely as we execute our strategic plan to elevate the performance of the Advance blended-box business.”
