The LEAP initiative needs to proceed at full speed. The potential positives for Indiana are huge.
With 9,000 acres already under control, the Indiana LEAP District is a truly massive development, comparable in size to central Boston, Washington D.C., Singapore, or even the entire city of Geneva, Switzerland. To put it in perspective, the LEAP District is significantly larger than two of the country’s largest business parks: Raleigh-Durham’s Research Triangle and Chicago’s O’Hare International Center, both of which have been developing as hubs for innovation and business since the 1950s.
Indianapolis and Central Indiana are competing with these areas and others for top-tier knowledge workers. While the availability of land and the overall size of the LEAP district are compelling, what truly makes a region attractive to employers isn’t just that, or tax incentives, of nearness to a major research university. Most importantly, it’s about creating an environment where highly skilled workers WANT to relocate and stay—a place that offers the most vibrant communities, the greatest mix of the highest quality-of-life attributes, neighborhood lifestyle options with the kinds of vitality that one can find in these other cities and beautiful places including, yes, at the core of it all, a thriving, dynamic, and amenity rich capital city center that appeals to people who can live anywhere they choose.
For Central Indiana to succeed in attracting and retaining this talent, it’s crucial that we enhance our offering in these areas. This equires a shift in vision and priorities—investing in visionary megaprojects and amenities that strengthen the city’s core, beyond the typical focus on sports arenas and convention center expansions. If we fail to create the vibrant, attractive places and spaces, we risk falling short in our ability to build a more dynamic, innovative economy. Instead of simply expanding ever outward, we need to focus on building a strong, vibrant core so the broader region and the entire state can compete with the greatest and most dynamic cities and regions in the world.
Well said!
This will not happen in Indiana without significant investments in both K-12 “path to college” education and “quality of place”.
Neither of those will happen in a state where “low taxes forever” is the working theory of government. Read anything recent by Michael Hicks.
The type of people you describe are not attracted to the rampant Trumpism in this state. And even if they are willing to move here, they will need water to drink…
I would have preferred if they would have transparently solved the water issue before investing in the land. I really don’t like the idea of arbitrarily moving water from another aquifer. This smells to me like the Colorado River issue all over again.
Without scientific research (transparency?) that’s where were headed.
