  • Task 4/6 Report: Programming & Destinations
    Tasks Four/Six: Destinations and Programming In these tasks, the team developed an understanding for destinations, events, programming, and gathering places along the White River. The team evaluated existing and potential destinations in both Hamilton and Marion Counties, and recommended new catalyst sites and destinations along the River. The following pages detail our process and understanding of important destinations for enhanced or new protection, preservation, programming and activation for the river.

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’.

He was the second son of Noah and Myra Allison. Noah moved the family to South Bend, Indiana, in 1874 and to Indianapolis, in 1880. He operated the Allison Coupon Company, printing coupon books for coal mine company stores. James went to work at the age of twelve, and took over the family business when his father died in 1890. While operating the coupon company, James grew increasingly frustrated with his writing instruments and invented the Allison Perfection Fountain Pen, beginning his career of innovation. Allison’s rise to fortune started with the partnership with his friends Carl Fisher and Percy Avery and their quest to perfect the car headlight.

In 1948 Pulliam also purchased The Indianapolis News, at that time the oldest newspaper in the city. Pulliam combined operations of the two papers with editorial and news operations remaining separate. When he died in 1975 his son Eugene S. Pulliam took over as publisher and remained there until his death in 1999. After The Indianapolis News ceased publication in 1995, The Indianapolis Star remained the only major daily paper in Indianapolis. In 2000 the Gannett Company acquired the paper leaving Indianapolis with no locally owned daily newspaper.
