Where is Terre Haute? It is sitting on the east side of the Wabash River in Vigo County. The river was a help with the growth of the city, since it was a major waterway between New Orleans and Quebec. The river is not a major use for transportation anymore, so many people do not even care or think about the river. The Hoosier Environmental Council is hoping that they can get local government and businesses to help with a river restoration project. This project will help clean up the rivers pollution and hopefully make it into a beautiful site for the Terre Haute citizens. Therefore, more people might appreciate the river for all it has to offer the city of Terre Haute, since it is a major asset the the city.
