For the people of Chrisney, Ind., opportunity for social and economic investment
has not been knocking. This community of fewer than 500 has been in a gradual
economic decline over the past several decades. Having already lost its high
school in the 1970s due to a push for school consolidation, the town took another
blow in 2011 when an expansion of U.S. 231 rerouted the four-lane corridor
around the town, which was once a thriving rural community in southern Indiana.
