Leave 14th, arrive 15th… 2 days on ground, return 17th on the 6am…. $85,000 for 25 people *not including flight and hotels*… $3400/person without flights/hotels… $1700 per day per person on ground. Sounds like a lovely time!
“The trip to Singapore is expected to cost $85,000, NOT including flight and lodging costs for EACH traveler.”?????
Rather than Singapore, maybe the folks should go up to South Bend and see what they’re doing with the St. Joe River.
Or Des Moines. They have a lovely river area.

South Bend /Mishawaka and Ft. Wayne have developed very nice things with
their river fronts.
That said, let’s take the best ideas wherever we can get them from.
Our downtown White River needs to be completely revamped to to be
more festive and appealing. Make it an exciting place to visit
Especially in the downtown area.
If done properly, it could be a selling point in attracting more students and
housing in the I.U.P.U.I. area and the near Westside.
While we are at it, the city should coordinate & corroborate with I.U. and
Purdue to make the campus more appealing and festive. Add more attractions,
things to do, shops, and restaurants to grow the campus.
Let’s grow the student population to 40,000 or more.
Developing the White River would be a major component in making the
area appealing to student residents.
Boondoggle.
Singapore?! (eyes roll)
I’ll be watching for the ending results! But to be honest they are serious about this City and I can actually feel it for the first time in History!! There is no going back!!!
Try exploring the many YouTube documentaries and tours about Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Much cheaper option than traveling to see something you could never talk anyone in the regressive state on Indiana into paying for.
Lol, it took 3 yrs of research to determine Singapore is the place to go??
SINGAPORE, Are you kidding me! Definitely similar climates….. yeah right. San Antonio and their riverwalk couldn’t have been looked at? Sounds like 25 people needed a nice vacation……………..on our $$$$$
They been to San Antonio several times. The article explaned why they didn’t want to revisit any peer cities here in the states. They wanted a different and international perspective and not to look like every other city in the country. They’re claiming they want something unique and different.
Why not go to San Antonio instead. Great River Walk, lot cheaper trip!
Did you not read the story? They did go to San Antonio. And to Boise and Austin.

The original intent in developing our canal downtown was based on
what San Antonio did. We tried to canal our efforts on their model.
That said, we need to figure out how to make our downtown canal more
festive and appealing to bring in more people.
We need festive lightening, cafes, shops, and bars on the canal.
That should also be the formula for developing the White River in the
downtown area.
Singapore has a metro area population of approximately 8 million and they spent $1 billion on the project plus they have a tropical coastline. A little hard to see the comparison. But maybe they can come up with a few applicable ideas but does it take 25 people to see it in person when you can see it on-line.
Potentially wasteful junket. Second tier city Indianapolis sends so-called study group to world class Singapore whose waterfront development on a strait is significantly different than the shallow sluggish weed-infested White River.
One hopes Indianapolis will at least benefit from this outrageous adventure. Singapore governance is much different than Indianapolis, a city held in contempt by some vitriolic Statehouse denizens seeking to effect personal control (without any urban planning, design or management expertise).
What a joke. Of course, it is Visit Indy, amongst the biggest jokes of them all.
Remember, this is the city government that center of junket of African American seniors up to Millennium Park in Chicago to sell them on Indy Parks ‘vison’ for a new Riverside Park. San Antonio? It’s river is as narrow as Fall Creek, so not an apt model.
I say we drain the Wapahani and make it into a skateboard park. That will definitely attract more students to IUI and its new model of vocational education.
