Adjournment 3 West Indianapolis Library IndyPL Library Board Meeting January 22, 2018 OUR STORY: The West Indianapolis Branch Library opened in its current location on November 15, 1986, and sits in the heart of the neighborhood. “Like much of the near south and west sides of Indianapolis, West Indianapolis has always been a working class neighborhood where modest homes were constructed for recent immigrants. The homes were immediately adjacent to factories and shops in which the immigrants worked. This frugality is evident in the small size and simple design of the homes. Waves of immigrants from Germany, Italy, Eastern Europe, and Appalachia settled in the area. The density, affordability, and proximity to employment and transportation continue to attract new immigrants – evidenced by the recent substantial influx of Hispanic residents. One appeal of West Indianapolis is that it is a “small town within a big city.” (http://www.westindianapolis.org/) Residents here have a sense of identity as strong as other neighborhoods in the city, such as Broad Ripple or Fountain Square. An example of metropolitan duality, there are both families that have been here for generations and a transient population without roots. Often, the latter group rents from the former group. Our daytime population is nearly twice that of the resident population. Many employees from surrounding businesses use the Library to pick up their holds. Our 5,000 square foot building is situated at the southwest corner of Morris Street and Kappes Street. As part of the West Indianapolis Neighborhood Services concept (an effort to concentrate services to citizens within a two block area), we are adjacent to several agencies that service the West Indianapolis population from birth through older ages. Agencies in this partnership include: Community Advisory Panel (CAP) Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center (MRNC) West Indianapolis Development Corporation (WIDC) Southwest Headstart Southwest Health Center William Penn Senior Housing In every case the Library has formed a partnership that has allowed us to extend services far beyond our front door. Kimberly Andersen was heavily involved in the development of the West Indianapolis Quality of Life Plan (http://www.westindianapolis.org/) and served as the President of the WIDC when The Valley Vision Plan was developed. The Final Executive Summary of October 31, 2017 states that “The purpose of The Valley Vision Plan is to create a neighbor-driven development plan for the Valley neighborhood that complements the plan to redevelop the GM Stamping Plant site”. More details can be found at http://www.westindydev.org/the-valley-vision-plan/. Highlights and renderings of the media coverage included the following at www.IndyStar.com: $550M GM stamping plant site project to create 'new district' for Indianapolis James Briggs, [email protected] Published 11:32 a.m. ET May 2, 2017 | Updated 5:30 p.m. ET May 2, 2017 (Photo: Ratio Architects) CONNECTTWEET 73LINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORE Downtown Indianapolis could be poised to spill west across the White River. Ambrose Property Group has agreed to acquire the former General Motors stamping plant site. The Indianapolis firm wants to redevelop the 103-acre site into a $550 million project that includes apartments, offices, retail and a hotel. The proposal also includes green space along the river. "It will embellish the neighborhood surrounding the property and be an extension of the Downtown," said Bruce Rasher, redevelopment manager for site owner RACER Trust. "It'll ultimately, I think, become a new district for the city of Indianapolis." RACER (Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response) does not have a timeline for closing on the sale of the property. The firm declined to disclose the purchase price. Ambrose wants to begin construction next year. RACER was formed in 2011 to clean up and sell 89 former GM plant locations, including the Indianapolis factory. The former GM stamping plant site sits on the White River, south of Washington Street and the Indianapolis Zoo. The factory closed in June 2011 and was mostly demolished in 2013. The city and RACER conducted a six-month process to gather public feedback on the site. RACER in February put out a call for offers and received four that matched its qualifications. In addition to Ambrose's proposal, RACER received offers from three undisclosed developers that sought to build projects ranging in cost from $500 million to $1 billion. Rasher said the latest proposal is more likely to succeed because it has support from the surrounding neighborhood, called the Valley, and input from the city, which must ultimately approve Ambrose's plans. "The city is behind this vision for the property," Rasher said. Mayor Joe Hogsett in a statement called the deal between Ambose and RACER a "tremendous milestone" for the city. The city has sought to push the types of development happening Downtown west to the GM stamping plant site. Indianapolis in October added the site to its Downtown tax-increment financing district. TIF is a process in which the city issues bonds to pay for infrastructure, such as street work and utilities, and repays the money with rising property taxes. Indianapolis could use TIF money to pay for work on South and Division streets, White River Parkway and Oliver Avenue that would improve access to the former GM site and incorporate it into the Valley.

  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • Music in I Ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944'
    Music In I ndiaiiapolis, 1900-1944’ MARTHAF. EELLINGER Developments in music since nineteen hundred, which were based largely on the foundations pi’eviously laid, in- volved notable and significant advances. The outstanding features of this peviod are the establishment of the People’s Concert Association and the People’s Chorus, the foundation of the lndianapolis hranch of the National Federation of Music Clubs, the expansion of the Matinee Musicale, the rapid development of applied and theoretical music in the public schools, and the founding of the Indiana State Sym- phony Orchestra. In the early years of the century a group of citizens headed by Edward €3. Birge, Director of Music in the Public Schools, conceiving the idea oi offering good music, com- parable to that of the May fePtival days, on a non-profit sys- tem, and of making a bid for a larger audience, organized the People’s Concert Association. The sale of two or three thousand seats, at twenty-five or fifty cents each, would guarantee the engagement of fine artists, and at the same time afford opportunity for the production of major com- positions in which the local organizations would participate. Mindful of financial hazards, the committee at first sought and obtained eighty guarantors who promised to back the enterprise to the extent of ten dollars each, but as it turned out, no guarantor was ever asked to pay. The creation of an audience-a x:er*y large audience-was the crux of the problem, and it was solved iii a large measure by the fine co-operation of the puhlic school teaching staffs.

  • Fort Ben and the City of Lawrence Selected As Nominee for ‘Rising Tech City’
    Fort Ben and the City of Lawrence Selected as Nominee for ‘Rising Tech City’ INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (February 19, 2019) — TechPoint, the nonprofit, industry-led growth initiative for Indiana’s technology ecosystem, announced the nominees for its 20th annual Mira Awards presented by Angie’s List and Salesforce. The Mira Awards gala—the biggest tech awards event in the state—celebrates the people, products, companies, and places chosen as ‘The Best of Tech in Indiana’. Together, Fort Ben and the City of Lawrence were announced as one of five nominees in the Rising Tech City category, which recognizes cities, towns, regions or communities in Indiana and celebrates the projects and people behind them who have championed the location’s advancement with emphasis on tech friendliness. “The City of Lawrence is honored to be considered for a Mira Award – the nomination recognizes Fort Ben’s viability as a technology and innovation campus with its rich history, one-of-a-kind setting, and accessibility, as well as the City’s commitment to fostering tech innovation and entrepreneurship as the true backbone of its economic development strategy,” said Mayor Steve Collier. It may be a surprise to some to see the City of Lawrence on the list of nominees among the larger cities of Indianapolis, Fishers and South Bend and Bloomington. Though the City and the Fort Ben campus is much smaller, the concentration of businesses and amenities is mighty. The nomination honors two-decades of strategic planning and investment of local and regional leaders into the redevelopment of the former Fort Benjamin Harrison military base into a walkable, mixed-use campus that is now home to 27 technology firms within a half-mile radius.
