    1. Mayor waited until there was no real time for public opinion to attempt to pull this off, as it has to be to the state by June 30. Sneaky stuff.

  1. I live at e georgia and Shelby. Could they possibly tax me for this project and not lower my taces by building a homeless shelter literally next to me?
    Somebody is smoking Mota.
    What about noise ordinances.

    1. You don’t understand how the tax district would work. It is not about creating a new tax on property owners, but about using existing tax revenues within the district to back bonds for the project. You are also confusing this sports district with the proposed downtown improvement district, which would create a new tax for various services, including a homeless shelter, but *not* for residential properties under the new state law passed this session.

  2. The timing of everything is what’s interesting to me. The city knew Keystone group has been trying to lure MLS to Indy for sometime now. Why didn’t the city go all in back then for Keystone as The Mayor for this new outside group of investors? I’m not against bringing MLS to Indy but it’s how the Mayor has went about conducting business. It’s clear battle lines are drawn between supporters of IndyEleven and Eleven Park vs The Mayor and his outside investors. I believe the city should work with Keystone to bring MLS to Eleven Park and finish the project. I also believe the Mayor knew for awhile he would back door Keystone group. Not a good look Mr. Mayor

    1. Keystone has been living off the public teat for years. Ozedemir is the same guy who bamboozled the Ballard administration into giving over $6 million of city money to help build that white elephant parking garage in Broad Ripple.

      For decades, developer after developer has stuck their snout in the public trough while the rest of Indianapolis foots the bill for their projects, so cry me a river to see one of them get the rug pulled out from under them. Keystone came up with these grandiose plans for a new soccer stadium, but no feasible financing plan, except to get the city to put more and more money in—first an inch, then a mile. While I am sure any new sports team/stadium will involve some sort of city subsidy (and really the money should go to city services instead), I am glad to see one corporate welfare money grubber finally get his comeuppance.

    1. I’m telling you, it’s Simon. The helicopter site is close to the area where Simon is building a new hotel and apartment tower. All this will be rolled into one giant development.

  3. How can they sponsor a bill to fund a project without the public even knowing who is behind it? There will be years of legal battles here.
