If you’ve been wondering what’s next for Indiana Avenue, you may want to attend this upcoming event.
The city is hosting a Nov. 17 open house to answer questions and get feedback on its draft of the Indiana Avenue Strategic Plan, a document that will guide future redevelopment of the historic area.
The draft plan, which is available online, includes a host of recommendations for potential projects along Indiana Avenue.
Some of those recommendations include adding public art and history throughout the neighborhood, expanding the Cultural Trail on Indiana Avenue southeast toward Capitol Avenue and Washington Street and prioritizing retail space for Black-owned businesses along the Avenue.
Open house attendees will have an opportunity to review the drafted strategy, ask questions, speak with the project team, and share feedback on proposed recommendations and next steps.
Mayor Joe Hogsett first announced plans to redevelop Indiana Avenue in 2023.

The open house will be from 5:30-7 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Indianapolis Urban League, 777 Indiana Ave., Suite 1.
