Houses or rooms that are rented for a time period ranging from one night to one year. For the purpose of this report, short-term rentals are often rented by those from out- of-town and the transaction is done through online applications as part of the sharing economy Destructive: Causing damage or harm in areas including but not limited to private property, public infrastructure, neighborhood culture, or quality of life Beneficial: Having positive externalities in areas including but not limited to neighborhood culture and quality of life Neighborhood culture: The level of social cohesion and shared values applied across neighborhood residents Public works: Shared infrastructure, institutions, and services meant to improve quality of life, safety, and health for neighborhood residents 5 Executive Summary Herron-Morton Place Neighborhood is a Historic Neighborhood located on the upper Near Northside of Indianapolis (City data, 2019). The neighborhood was added to the listing of the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 to preserve the historic value of the remaining structures in the area (Berkson, 2018). With this listing comes certain regulations that must be maintained in order to ensure the preservation of key historic elements in the neighborhood. With the introduction of short-term rentals including those found through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, the Herron-Morton Place Association has expressed concerns regarding the effect on neighborhood culture, safety, and economy. There is a national dialogue regarding short- term rentals and their impact to the communities where they exist. Kelly deWaal of the Herron- Morton Place Association

The city of Indianapolis was founded in 1821 as the state capital, when the Indiana State Legisla- ture sought a central location for the city and appointed a committee to choose the site. Once the site was chosen surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to lay out the city, which was proposed as a grid of north-south and east-west streets in a mile square plat. This plat was influenced by the Pierre L’Enfant plan for Washington, D.C., which in turn was in- spired by the royal residence of Versailles. Since Indianapolis was planned as a state capital, the plat sited the State House Square and the Court House Square equidistant from Circle Street (now Monument Circle), located in the center of the Mile Square. The Governor’s house was to be situ- ated in the circular lot framed by Circle Street, and the four city blocks framing the Circle were known as the “Governor’s Square.” Four diagonal streets radiated out from the far corners of the four blocks framing the circle. All streets of the Mile Square were 90 feet wide with the exception of Washington Street, which was 120 feet wide to accommodate its intended use as the capital’s main street. The sale of lots in the new capital city on October 8, 1821 reveal the street’s importance, as lots fronting it com- manded the highest prices.

  • Indy's Metro Momentum Agenda
    INDY’S METRO MOMENTUM AGENDA CENTRAL INDIANA REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTED to INDIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AUGUST 2015 INDIANAPOLIS REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTED TO THE INDIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION – REGIONAL CITIES INITIATIVE CENTRAL INDIANA REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Representing Marion, Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Morgan and Shelby Counties; with the participation of Indianapolis/Marion County, the City of Carmel, City of Greenwood, City of Westfield. PREFACE: INDIANA’S PLIGHT, the INDY REGION’S PROMISE Indiana’s economy is built on the ingenuity and effort of our people. From the field to the factory, from lifesaving medicines to timesaving logistics, the Hoosier work ethic has been an engine of growth. But the size and skill of our workforce has become a challenge. The most successful regions count human capital as their prized asset: A fast-growing, well-educated population is the best predictor of economic prosperity. According to Area Development magazine’s 2014 national survey of corporate executives, availability of skilled labor is the top site selection concern (the first time in the study’s 28-year history that workforce trumped tax burden, labor costs and highway access). Similarly, a 2014 poll of ‘Inc 500’ CEOs show that the leaders of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies regard recruiting talented employees as simultaneously their biggest challenge and most important contribution to innovation. Indiana has built a solid reputation as a business-friendly, low-cost state – but the hard-working Hoosiers who joined our manufacturing economy at its peak employment in the late 60s have been rapidly leaving the work- force for the last decade; a large share of those manufacturing jobs preceded them.
