After six years of lower sales and permanently losing an exit from the highway, I will have to call it quits.
Letter: Transportation museum has plans to keep growing
We are now partnering with other organizations to serve residents and visitors around Indiana and in neighboring states.
Letter: Curtis Hill deserves fair hearing
No one knows, save Mr. Hill and his accusers, whether he is guilty or innocent, but the protesters, the governor, and four key lawmakers have already implicated his guilt based solely on the accusations.

As INDOT considers its options to repair and modify downtown interstate infrastructure and traffic patterns, we hope that INDOT sincerely considers the input of the neighbors who will be most impacted.

We should be inspired by Downtown Indy to pursue similarly inspiring plans. Let’s hope the EID’s temporary fate doesn’t deter others from advocating for potentially game-changing ideas.

Concentrated poverty in Indianapolis is holding back hundreds of thousands of families from accessing opportunities for upward mobility and will hold us back from continued growth for all.
