We’ve had the privilege of working with Lincoln Amphitheatre and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources since 2021, partnering together on a master plan and a series of ongoing improvements. The initial visualization video was presented to the DNR at the state level in Indianapolis as part of the process to secure project approval and funding. Now, years later, it is incredibly rewarding to see how much of this vision has come to life.

We’re grateful for their continued trust and collaboration. It’s been an honor to support a venue bringing people together through art, entertainment, and community, and we can’t wait to see the lineup Lincoln Amphitheatre has in store for 2026!

🌟 Happy Holidays from UDA! 🌟

This season, we’re grateful for the opportunity to celebrate and give back to our community.

✨ We were honored to design and engineer the gazebo base that supports the impressive Christmas Pyramid showcased in our town, and we thank the Ferdinand Historical Society for trusting us with this project.
🎄 Our team also decorated trees for Riley Children’s Hospital as part of J+J Flooring's Helping Hands holiday program.
🎉 Our annual holiday celebration started with a tour of the Huntingburg Public Library, a project we are very proud of and honored to have been a part of, followed by an awesome lunch at Butcher & Barrel, and the celebration continued back at our office with games, gifts, and recognition of several milestone anniversaries.

Thank you to our clients, partners, and team for making this year so special. Wishing you joy and peace this holiday season and success in the year ahead!
