Working together with the client team and the public, the vision plan identified twenty-seven opportunity sites for preservation, activation, enhancements, or protection. The sites identified on the map at right include existing catalysts, places that exist but could be enhanced, and opportunities for future catalysts. All of these are places along the river where a variety of experiences can be created or expanded. This long list of destinations or opportunity sites is organized by the five discovery themes. Certain locations showed clear overlap among multiple themes and enabled the plan to filter through the long list to identify seven final sites to explore as plan ‘focus areas’ or ‘anchors’.

    welcome! Our second White River Vision Plan community open house The White River Vision Plan is a community-driven process in Indianapolis and Hamilton County to develop a holistic vision and comprehensive plan that explores the enormous potential of our river to enhance regional vibrancy, ecological integrity, livability and economic vitality. The White River Vision Plan is a joint effort between the City of Indianapolis and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc. in partnership with Visit Indy’s philanthropic arm, Tourism Tomorrow, Inc. The Vision Plan would not be possible without the concerted efforts of our shareholder partners, the White River Alliance, Friends of the White River, and Reconnecting Our Waterways. Our study area Hamilton County and Indianapolis Why plan regionally? The Central Indiana White River ADAMS JACKSON WHITE RIVER study area is one mile wide US - 31 and extends for 58 miles from Lafayette Trace Park in Hamilton CLARE County to Southwestway Park in Indianapolis. Between these parks, STRAWTOWN two counties and multiple cities, NORTH NOBLESVILLE neighborhoods, tributaries and major infrastructure systems lie US - 38 alongside the White River. This plan is an opportunity to better connect all of these individual US - 32 NOBLESVILLE WASHINGTON WAYNE elements together through the power of a river vision, creating a region that is stronger than the RIVER ROAD sum of its parts.
