Due to high water on the Mississipi and Ohio rivers, Jeffersonville's new RiverStage theater barge has arrived for remodeling after a delay of 4 1/2-months.

"Remodeling the 260-foot-long barge, which formerly was the hanging entrance to a casino in St. Louis, will be an inimitable job," said Estopinal.
"Remodeling of the RiverStage is expected to get over by next summer season and if in case it requires more time, it will be done perhaps the following year," said Larry Thomas Jeffersonville's communications director.
"It does make sense to take the time to do high-quality work on the remodeling," added Thomas.

He also stated that home builders might face a drop due to a lack in confidence engendered by the market's drop. Home builders stated that their biggest concern was customer confidence.
