Great News!
These ‘anchor institutions’ do good work, but they’ve also been holding this part of town back for decades with their land banking.
-> Buy as much land as possible.
-> Leave a ton of land idle or near-idle.
-> Primarily serve people commuting from other parts of the City and do relatively little to help the surrounding neighborhood
-> Pay no taxes.
Castor’s comments give me pause. “Co-creating solutions”; “…residents who know their needs best”?! I don’t get any sense from this report of work by either Castor or Smith to actually effect change in, “the staggering statistic of a 17-year life expectancy reduction“ in these neighborhoods. In fact, it makes me wonder if C and S are focused on promotions or planning political careers?
Good intentions, no doubt, but show me the plan of action.
So, no actual plans? This is news?
No capital commitments? No projects? Not even a single action item? Sheesh, IBJ with the puff piece of all puff pieces here lol
There are plans, there are significant capital commitments, and they’ve even broken ground already. Go to the Indy Health District website and you’ll see a lot more.
You clearly don’t live in the area or you would know of the plans and actually seen the improvements in the neighborhood. Just drive down Capital ave starting from Fall creek turn on to Capital and look at the new sidewalks, bike lanes and newly pathed street, new updated lighting ect. Then the new apartments on 1827 north Meridian. There’s tons of projects that’s happening in those neighborhoods that folks who aren’t from the area are clueless to.
Kevin, you are correct re development. Drove the route you suggested. Much has changed since last I was there. Pleased to see it!
