Evansville metropolitan area: Difference between revisions

 

===Possibilities for expansion and combination===

There is a chance that another Kentucky county, Union, and two Illinois counties, White and Wabash, may be added on in the 2010 census as a significant amount of all three counties' populations commute to jobs in Vanderburgh County or any of the other five counties. Another Indiana County, Spencer, may find itself in both the Evansville and Owensboro areas. There is also a chance that the Owensboro and Evansville Metros could become the '''Evansville-Owensboro, IL-IN-KY Combined Statistical Area''' in 2010 as travel time decreases and interaction increases with improved infrastructre between the two areas and many of the micropolitan areas to the north and south like [[Interstate 69]], the expansion of the 6-lane [[Lloyd Expressway]] to the west and east as well as the new [[U.S. Highway 231|U.S. 231]] Corridor.
