  1. I am positive the city actually doesn’t care about this considering 2 different buildings were constructed on this site before. They are pandering at this point. The mayor knew all about this and was happy as a drunk clam when he was at the groundbreaking.

    1. The State laws that make archeological sites very difficult to develop were not in place until 1979. Those buildings had already been constructed.

    2. diamond chain had been there for a hundred years. who are they pandering to? respect for human remains is just nothing huh? ozdemir didn’t have his ducks in a row.

    3. The Trouble remains, if the city and the state knew these cemeteries were there, why and how were construction permits issued for demolition and preliminary site work? Seems there was much more at fault than Keystone.?

    1. Hogsett’s administration totally blew up this private developer’s investment. Keystone should get this case in front of a jury and watch the cash rain! No way does a jury see this as anything other than negligent interference by a bought off administration. The city showed up at the ground breaking ceremony for crying out loud! Common juror will see the perspective economic relationship which the city was on board with until they were not.

    2. The private developer also didn’t show up with the private funding until way too late (and I have doubts that was anything but a smokescreen anyway) and it had also been made clear that he was never going to be able to land an MLS franchise. At that point, explain why the city of Indianapolis should bother proceeding.

      But other than that, sure, it’s all the city’s fault.

      His best move is to sell the land to the city and make the graves their problem, then move on to another project that he can sucker government officials into paying far too much public money on.

  2. So far, I’ve not read any real investigative reporting on the old cemeteries, when and if remains were actually, or not, relocated? Lots of hearsay, and rumor.
    Was the old IPL – now AES- electric substation, located on the north half of the Greenlawn Cemetery, cleared of remains before it was constructed? It appears the chilled water plant was not built on cemetery grounds.

  3. Dig them up, rebury them at crown Hill or wherever they want to. It shouldn’t cost $12 million dollars per acre to dig remains up and put them somewhere else. There’s no family alive left from any of these people no headstones to even identify them. That’s a valuable piece of property in downtown.

  4. When I was in Paris France, I did the catacombs tour. I saw the bones of a million people stacked in decorative patterns in a macabre fashion. All of these bones were collected from “confiscated” cemeteries that Napoleon ordered to be cleaned up so that the land could be used for development.

    After everyone is dead who remembers anybody that was buried there, old bones are just that, old bones. I think an acknowledgement of past history is entirely appropriate, especially if the majority of these bones are still there because of racial animus, but take the time to dig them up, and move on!

    1. It’s a smaller scale but the principles of indiference are the same. The Mayor approved his soldiers to purchase land on my street ,next to our homes on East Georgia for a homeless shelter. The mayor has not responded to any of my six letters.
      It’s obvious this will turn into the same tragedy as at Ohio and East street. After saying they had no money to buy us out, the bought more land for a gated gathering space for the homeless. This land butts against our properties.

  5. A) What a good report on this matter. We are lucky to have the IBJ, which still does good old-fashioned journalism.

    B) I keep hearing the phrase “consistent with the wishes of a community group”. What community group are we talking about here? Just whoever the city names, at some point in the future?
