CENTRAL INDIANA INFORMATION Christian Women Connection’s office is located in Anderson, IN. The Church of God is also headquartered in Anderson, IN, including Church of God Ministries and other affiliated and endorsed agencies. The city has been the location of key Church of God agencies since 1917. Positioned in the heart of the Midwest, Anderson is located on the I‐69 corridor. It is in central Indiana just northeast of Indianapolis, Indiana’s state capital. The official state nickname is “Crossroads of America,” because four major interstate highways, I‐69, I‐65, I‐70, and I‐74, intersect via I‐465 in central Indiana. With a host of public and private school options, affordable housing, and community attractions, central Indiana is a great location for families. There are several cities and towns surrounding Anderson with much to offer, including Pendleton, Fortville, Fishers (rated #3 on Money’s 2019 Best Place to Live list), Noblesville, and Carmel (rated Best Place to Live in the United States by Niche). Indianapolis was ranked the 38th best city to live in according to U.S. News & World Report. All of these locations are no more than 40 minutes away from the Christian Women Connection office. With a population of nearly 1.8 million people, the metro area of Indianapolis offers diverse cultural and recreational activities. Because the Indianapolis metro area is home to many global companies, racial and ethnic diversity is flourishing. There are many diverse restaurants, grocery stores, and communities. Well known sporting activities include the Indianapolis Colts (NFL), Indiana Pacers (NBA), Indiana Fever (WNBA), Indy Eleven (United Soccer League), Indianapolis Indians (minor league baseball), Indy Fuel (minor league ice hockey), and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (which is home to the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400). Outdoor recreation options abound. The Indianapolis Cultural Trail, the Canal Walk, and the Monon Rail Trail are perfect options for running and biking. Eagle Creek Park, Holliday Park, and Fort Harrison State Park provide beautiful escapes within Indianapolis. Fishers, Carmel, and Noblesville have all recently prioritized development of local parks and collectively provide almost 50 park spaces for families. Central Indiana also offers access to many museums and historic locations. Monument Circle is the geographic heart of Indianapolis. “The Circle” is an ideal spot to enjoy the sculptural art adorning the Sailor and Soldiers Monument. The Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields includes free access to The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park, which is 100 acres of green space and contemporary art. The Indianapolis Children’s Museum and the Indianapolis Zoo (including the White River Gardens) are not to be missed, and the Garfield Conservatory and Sunken Gardens have 10,000 square feet of tropical plants and a European formal garden. .

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’.
