WELCOME RECEPTION 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Salesforce Tower 111 Monument Circle, D’Amore 48th Floor

Operation: Indy! launches with an opportunity for our delegation to meet the staff and board leadership heading up the Indy Chamber. The Welcome Reception, hosted on the 48th floor of the Salesforce Tower features 360 – degree views of downtown Indianapolis from the highest point in the city.

Speakers Amanda Blackwood Michael Huber President & CEO President & CEO Sacramento Metro Chamber Indy Chamber

Salesforce Tower is the tallest building in Indiana and is the 58th tallest building in the United States. The building’s twin spires pierce 811 feet into the Indianapolis skyline, with 49 floors of office and retail space. It is the regional headquarters of Salesforce, which moved into the tower in the late – 2010’s and currently occupies a large amount of space in the building. The tower’s step pyramidal cap reflects the design of the Indiana War Memorial, three blocks due north. The War Memorial, in turn, reflects the descriptions of the original Mausoleum.

We’ll learn about the city’s past, as well as the opportunities that lie ahead. We’ll examine Indy’s tourism economy and its impact on community and business sectors, the imprint of collaborative city leadership beyond election cycles, and how the community works together to respond to racial and cultural issues. We will tie the day together with a look at Indy’s inclusive economic strategies.

#studymission2019 11 Collaborative Leadership: Economy 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. Indiana Convention Center 100 South Capitol Ave

OVERVIEW This session takes a deep dive into Indy’s collaborative approach to tourism, convention attraction, the concerted focus on developing a sports economy and the resulting economic impact. We’ll hear how Indy’s business leaders aligned around a common strategy in pursuit of mobilizing a distinct opportunity: Attracting sports, tourism and convention business to Indy.

“Indy lacks oceanfront and mountain ranges, has rather uninteresting topography and challenging weather, and has long been a flyover city, so we must make up what we want to be on our own.”

— Beth White, Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee

Speakers will talk about their respective roles and what civic or cultural improvements were required to support a sports- driven infrastructure. We’ll hear how they financed large-scale projects, the role the city played, and the spin-off growth trends that followed, including development of hotels, the convention center, roads and mobility, restaurants and retail, and the effects of this growth on local residents. The speakers will also reflect on whether their collaborative leadership paid off and what they’d do differently today if given the chance.

OVERVIEW One of the largest convention centers in America, the Indiana Convention Center located in downtown Indy and is connected by skywalks to more hotel rooms than any other city in the nation. The original structure was completed in 1972 and has undergone multiple expansions. In total, there are 71 meeting rooms, 11 exhibit halls, and three multi-purpose ballrooms. The facility today is connected to Lucas Oil Stadium, offering an additional 183,000 square feet of exhibit space and 12 meeting rooms. The most recent major expansion to the ICC was undertaken from 2008 to 2011. Also linked to the center is a four-story urban shopping mall, surrounded by more than 200 restaurants and clubs, and a 10-block state park that features top museums, green space and a convenient canal walk. It’s the reason Sports Illustrated’s Peter King calls Indianapolis “the most walkable downtown in America.”

Convention Center Expansion Read about Mike: The Indiana Convention Center is anticipating an ESKATON.ORG/AGEISBEAUTIFUL expansion by 2023 to include a 50,000-sq.-ft. ballroom and 30,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, adding to its 566,600 sq. ft. of contiguous exhibit space, 71 meeting rooms, and three ballrooms.

Airport Passengers Capital Region: 5.9 million Indianapolis: 4.7 million Both markets have seen substantial growth in visitors and tourism as seen by the number of airport passengers.

OVERVIEW During this introspective session featuring Indy’s mayoral leadership spanning from 2000 to present day, Indy’s civic leaders will reflect on what’s triggered Indy’s growth, appeal and national positioning. This discussion will look at how each Mayor decidedly chose not to unravel the policies and initiatives that were driven by the previous administration, but rather to build upon the foundation laid and advance a shared strategic vision.

The city limits expanded to the county’s boundaries. Eleven towns we’re incorporated and the functions city and county government. This consolidation was called unified government, colloquially known as “Unigov.” The consolidation established a single executive, who is both mayor of the city and county executive, and a City-County Council, which is the legislative body to the city and county.

#studymission2019 19 Collaborative Leadership: Community BUSINESS PROMISE: VIBRANT COMMUNITY 2:20 – 3:20 p.m. Indiana War Memorial, Pershing Auditorium 55 East Michigan St.

OVERVIEW Indy is home to The Race and Cultural Relations Leadership Network (RCRLN), a unique collaborative program established to foster positive relationships among diverse populations and to respond to racially and culturally charged issues in the greater Indianapolis community. Comprised of business, civic, and community leaders who volunteer their time and services to study and improve race and cultural relations in the city and its institutions, RCRLN is not a board of directors, an organization, or an action group. Instead, it is a process, a network and forum, and a convening agent.

RCRLN utilizes the power of community networks to face and address charged issues through a structured but informal means of activating action, channeling information and mobilizing community leaders such as churches, police, and neighborhoods. The RCRLN also serves as a conduit of reliable information to City-County government and existing organizations dedicated to taking appropriate action in such matters.

20 Operation: Indy! — 21st Annual Study Mission CAPITAL REGION RELEVANCE: In the height of rising racial tensions in our nation’s cities, Sacramento has found itself in the national spotlight. In response, a new movement has developed to guide our city into courageous conversations to discuss hidden wounds and lingering barriers along racial and ethnic lines and to provide a springboard for positive and equitable change. Many of our region’s nonprofit organizations in collaboration with the interfaith network of faith-based organizations, work to empower community members to enact change in their own neighborhoods, increasing economic prosperity, improving health outcomes, promoting safety and social connection, and making community growth and well-being possible. Sacramento Faces Race provides an opportunity for committed community members to learn through Teach-In convenings about the history, consequences, and subtleties related to systemic racism.

DEMOGRAPHIC DATA Differentiating our two regions are our demographics. The Capital Region rapidly approaches 49% minority representation, while Indy maintains homogenous indicators. Our diversity is most definitly a strengh but also create a challenge of ensuring that growth and the buliding of wealth are supported with an eye to inclusion.

OVERVIEW In this session we will hear from organizations working to mobilize people, ideas and investments to make Indy a community where all individuals have equitable opportunity to reach their full potential—no matter place, race or identity. Part of Indy’s inclusive city goals is to lift up longtime residents through incremental growth and to mitigate the long-term effects of disadvantaged communities.

“We have goals that will take years—if not decades—to achieve. We know this work is complicated and we will make mistakes. We need this community to learn with us, hold us accountable and become our partners.”

22 Operation: Indy! — 21st Annual Study Mission CAPITAL REGION RELEVANCE Prosperity Strategy Framework More information located in Guidebook

Capital Region leaders have worked collaboratively to lay our own Prosperity Strategy for Sacramento’s future as well, built from research conducted by the Brookings Institute. The 2018 Brookings market assessment found the region has a strong starting point of relative prosperity and productivity, yet called attention to alarming indicators suggesting the region is on a troubling trajectory that, if not addressed, could erode economic competitiveness.

Notably, Brookings showed how over the last decade (specifically, between 2006 and 2016) the Sacramento region has trailed most other largest metropolitan areas in the nation across aggregate measures of change in growth, prosperity, and inclusion:

• Growth: The Sacramento region ranked 67th of the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas in job growth, change in gross metropolitan product, and job growth at young firms • Prosperity: The region scored 71st out of 100 for changes in productivity, standard of living, and average annual wage growth relative to 2006 levels • Inclusion: Over the last decade, greater Sacramento ranked 84th out of 100 in improvements to median wage and employment rate, and reducing relative poverty

Indy’s leaders have studied a growing body of research that tells a dismaying story:

»» There is a growing gap between the affluent and poor in Central Indiana. »» The chances of making it out of poverty or doing better than your parents are slim. »» A person’s race has a profound impact on whether he or she has access to opportunity.

With eyes on creating a healthy and thriving community with inclusive economic growth, Indy’s leaders are combining efforts to dismantle systemic racism, create pathways to provide opportunity for all, and ensure that every resident can earn a baseline income (or greater) to support a fair and reasonable quality of life. Indy’s Inclusive City initiative is working toward ensure that a much higher percentage of residents can thrive.

#studymission2019 25 THURSDAY, September 12 Theme: Inclusive Economy Building on our initial sessions, today will take a deeper dive into the inclusive economy that weaves through Indy’s neighborhoods, housing strategies, workforce initiatives, and civic amenities. The discussion will extend to the innovative ways Indy’s leaders are addressing workforce housing — a deliberate approach to making sure housing costs are commensurate with average pay scale, as well as ensuring a prepared workforce to meet the needs of a 21st- century economy.

OVERVIEW Named “the biggest and boldest step by any American city” by Project for Public Spaces, this $63 million, internationally- acclaimed 8-mile biking and walking trail connects all six of Indy’s Cultural Districts. From Mass Ave to White River State Park and Fountain Square, the trail is a safe, healthy and convenient way to move through or explore the city.

CAPITAL REGION PEER Bill Mueller Chief Executive Officer Valley Vision

GUEST SPEAKERS Full speaker bios in Guidebook Kären Haley Kevin Osburn Executive Director Principal Cultural Trail Rundell Ernstberger Associates

“We know that the Cultural Trail attracts people, but it’s also an investment in our people. It’s made us a face-to-face city.”

– Kären Haley, Executive Director of the Cultural Trail

The Trail was founded by Brian Payne, president and CEO of Central Indiana Community Foundation, in partnership with the City of Indianapolis, and designed by Kevin Osburn and his team at Rundell Ernstberger Associates. Funding for the $63 million-dollar project came from federal transportation grants and local philanthropy—including a lead gift of $15 million from Indianapolis developer Gene Glick and his wife Marilyn.

“Property values went up 8% county wide and 150% for those properties located within 500 feet of the Cultural Trail.”

– Brian Payne, visionary behind the Cultural Trail

28 Operation: Indy! — 21st Annual Study Mission But the Trail is more than a way to explore Indy. It’s a connection point, a conversation, an attraction and an outdoor public art gallery. Today, developers want to build on or near the Trail, retailers want to open businesses within walking distance and employees want jobs with employers accessible to the trail. For all these reasons, the Cultural Trail has emerged as an amenity that provides benefit to all those working, living, exploring and visiting Indy.

CAPITAL REGION RELEVANCE: THE EPIC TRAIL More information about the EPIC Trail is in Guidebook The vision of a Capital Region EPIC Trail, a contiguous 100- mile span of paved, multi-use, recreational pathways across the entire Sacramento region — is similar to Indy’s Cultural trail. The course laid out for the EPIC Trail would connect the region’s universities to national parks, as well as areas of historical interests and visitor attractions like Apple Hill to Sutter’s Fort, and Lake Tahoe to Folsom.

Lunch & Explore: Cultural Trail 10:00 a.m. – 12:40 p.m. Cultural Trail On Your Own: White River State Park | Indy Guided: Zoo | White River Gardens Bike Tours | Walking Tours

You will be on your own for lunch and restaurant recommendations can be found in the back of your program. Meet back at the Phoenix Theatre, 705 N Illinois St. by 12:40 for a bus transfer to Butler University. Bus departs promptly at 12:45 p.m.

JOBS/EMPLOYMENT BY SECTOR While similar in many industry trends the Sacramento region’s heavy reliance on public sector employment creates a market opportunity to service those needs but is tied intimatly to the overall state budget and employment costs. As the costs of living increase without commensurate increases in pay for public sector employees, discretionary income and tha ability to support retail is at risk.

OVERVIEW This two-part discussion focuses on strategies that Educate and Employ. We’ll hear how Indy’s K12 education and workforce- based efforts align toward common goals.

Educate: Enlist, Enroll, Employ Indy’s leaders recognize that education is the backdrop of every success story and that starts with creating great schools— public, private, charter and innovation schools alike. Indy’s public schools are making a huge comeback by developing a series of magnet schools designed to offer what charter and private schools offer.

Employ: Any Job, Better Job, Career Any job, Better job, Career: That’s the progression that drives Indy’s workforce strategies. Organizations like EmployIndy and Ascend Indiana work with a host of partners including the Indy Chamber, the City of Indianapolis, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. This collaborative landscape brings continued promise for low- and middle-skill workers, delivering programs that address graduation pathways, next level jobs, work-based learning and apprenticeship opportunities.

EDUCATE Over the past four years Indy’s education leaders have set aside old debates about school type in order to put students first. In 2014, the Mayor’s Office of Education & Innovation, Indianapolis Public School Board (IPS) and The Mind Trust created a partnership designed to support the launch of Innovation Network Schools. Since then, the city’s charter schools and district schools have partnered in the creation of Enroll-Indy, Indianapolis’ first unified enrollment system, and Teach-Indy, a citywide campaign to recruit great teachers to Indianapolis.

EMPLOY While the Indy Region will continue its efforts to attract the type of talent needed for a 21st century economy, Indy leaders have realized an untapped opportunity of talent already living in their region: Those who are unemployed, underemployed, and could fulfill today’s job needs with certification or postsecondary education. These organizations work collaborative to address barriers to workforce entry, prepare young adults to participate in the workforce ecosystem, and create an employer-driven framework that ensures workforce services are accessible in lower income neighborhoods.

CAPITAL REGION RELEVANCE: READY WORKFORCE More information located in Guidebook Sacramento’s employment leaders agree that a thriving pool of talent is central to economic growth. Early exposure to work experiences, such as internships or that first job, help youth gain the technical and soft skills to be career ready. Imagine how transformational it would be if students left high school prepared for post-secondary education and ready to join the workforce. Thousand Strong, a city-wide approach to workforce development is an opportunity to leverage Sacramento’s resources by pooling investments and connecting partners to maximize impact. Our youth will have place-based experiences that ensure that they leave the education system with the skills needed to successfully transition into the world of work. This initiative seeks to reward our youth with various incentives to show them we value the work they do while helping them prepare for the future.

OVERVIEW This session will provide a brief overview of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, its history and economic impact, sprinkled with insider fun facts. We’ll hear how the Speedway’s success spurred city leaders to embrace focused attention on building their sports economy through amateur and professional sporting events, which ultimately emerged as a pivotal economic development strategy for Indy.

GUEST SPEAKER Full speaker bio in Guidebook Allison Melangton Senior Vice President of Events Indianapolis Motor Speedway

CAPITAL REGION RELEVANCE: SPORTS ECONOMY Home to three professional sports teams, several nationally- recognized sporting events each year and a plethora of recreation opportunities including fishing, golfing, cycling, skating, paddling and skiing, it is clear that the Capital Region’s sports economy has a strong foundation. With the resources to host – a 442,000-square foot multi-purpose arena, Sacramento State’s Mondo Super X 720 warm-up and competition track surface, as well as soccer, softball and volleyball complexes and the 2,000 acres of city parks and 50 golf courses, the Capital Region can continue to grow and thrive.

What’s a Porch Party? In 2014, the Harrison Center began encouraging people to gather on their porches with friends and neighbors, to share food and drink and to help cultivate a sense of community in Indy’s urban neighborhoods. Since that time, the popularity of “porching” has soared. In 2016, through a partnership with the Indianapolis 500, the Porch Party movement grew to include the entire state of Indiana, and hundreds have joined in the fun.

34 Operation: Indy! — 21st Annual Study Mission About the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Built on 328 acres of farmland five miles northwest of Indianapolis, the Speedway was started by local businessmen as a testing facility for Indiana’s growing automobile industry in 1909. The idea was that occasional races at the track would pit cars from different manufacturers against each other, driving up showroom sales. Since 1911, the Indianapolis 500 has been held every year with crowds today averaging 350,000 spectators, serving as a key driver of the region’s tourism and hospitality industries. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway generates over $510 million of economic activity annually in Indiana, and more than $300 million into the local economy.

OVERVIEW After years of being woefully underfunded and suffering from inadequate service delivery (30 to 60-minute frequency schedules and no weekend service), Indy’s private sector leaders were challenged to come up with solutions to public transportation deficiencies. What resulted was a collaborative effort involving transit agencies, city and chamber leaders, young professional networks and strategists who together produced the Indy Connect Plan and ultimately a transit referendum—the first ever non-school referendum in the city’s history. The successful campaign focused entirely on different impacts like socioeconomic mobility, access to jobs, health care and education, and connecting young workers to employment and elderly to amenities they need to stay active and healthy.

RED LINE IndyGo, Marion County’s public transportation corporation, launched operation of the city’s first Bus Rapid Transit on September 1. The Red Line runs through downtown Indy to the University of Indianapolis, connecting several neighborhoods, major employers and cultural institutions with frequent service.

38 Operation: Indy! — 21st Annual Study Mission The route comes within a quarter mile of more than 50,000 residents and nearly 150,000 jobs — a quarter of all jobs in Marion County. Today, Indy’s concerted focus is on integrated mobility, catalyzing the nexus between real estate development and transit infrastructure, and harnessing the value that transit corridors play in equitable development. Beyond the Red Line, strategic planning considered broader mobility solutions for the next generation that included new technologies, autonomous vehicles, electric bike and car share programs, putting Indy on the leading edge of building an integrated shared mobility network.

CAPITAL REGION RELEVANCE Regional agencies, local governments and transit agencies are working collaboratively to make transportation decisions for the Capital Region. The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) provides planning support and a forum for coordination among the region’s transit operators. The Sacramento Blueprint is a smart growth vision for the region that was adopted by the SACOG Board of Directors in 2004. The spirit of the Blueprint is to integrate land use and transportation planning to curb sprawl, cut down on vehicle emission and congestion in order to improve the quality of life for residents of the region. The Study Mission conversation of Connected Region and Vibrant Community can help guide efforts of regional leaders to further eliminate lingering disjointed conversations that are still happening. These other conversations and efforts around housing development, access to job centers, and education, along with social and environmental justice concerns all align with the Metro Chamber’s desire to promote inclusive dconomic developement..

Designing for Equity and Inclusion — Brian Payne Nothing extraordinary ever happens without someone reaching past the constraints of the current reality to ask, “What if…?” What if we created a Personal Mobility Network that connected people to services and opportunities through various integrated modes of transportation? What if we rebuilt highways to be inclusive of neighborhoods, instead of disruptive?

#studymission2019 39 Explore: Walking Tour of White River State Park BUSINESS PROMISE: CONNECTED REGION 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. White River State Park

OVERVIEW White River State Park is a 250-acre urban park located in Indianapolis on the western edge of the downtown. It is one of six designated cultural districts in Indianapolis and not part of the 32 properties managed by the Division of State Parks. Restoration on this area began in the late 1980s, when public attention fell on the Indiana Central Canal. The canal was originally engineered in the 1830s as a way to ship goods through the state of Indiana, but the project went bankrupt and the Indianapolis section of the canal was the only section that was ever dug. Although the canal was never used for its intended purpose, recent restoration and development has changed the area and it is currently functioning as a cultural center. Among the attractions located in or near the park are the Indiana State Museum and IMAX Theater, the Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, the NCAA Headquarters and Hall of Champions, the Medal of Honor Memorial, Victory Field (home of Indianapolis Indians baseball), Military Park, the Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn Concert Series, and the Indiana Cross Country Arena.

OVERVIEW The White River Vision Plan, launched this past July, sets a comprehensive blueprint to activate more than 58 miles of the White River flowing through the heart of the city. When completed it will connect more than 60 points of interest in both Marion and Hamilton counties. The goal is to create an accessible, recreational, and cultural environment that encourages a unique sense of place for central Indiana residents and the community as a whole. To achieve that, the plan identifies seven “anchor areas” that will be a major focus of the project including commercial corridors, historic districts, cultural destinations and catalytic program opportunities. Notably, the development framework for the project was built on nine principles that focus on environmental and ecological health, equity, public safety and activation, protecting wildlife and the environment and protecting ownership along the river.
