While development in downtowns is accelerating and arts and cultural institutions are expanding their visions, the White River is the region’s next frontier. Long invisible, the river is awakening from an extended period of underutilization and ecological degradation and transforming into an economic and community amenity. The river is a powerful, unifying and timeless flow. Reclaimed and enhanced, it can be a beacon of stewardship, a healthy contributor to the area’s economy and a tool for the betterment of the lives of the region’s residents. The White River Vision Plan is a community driven process in Hamilton County and Indianapolis 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 eort between the City of Indianapolis and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc. in partnership with Visit Indy’s philanthropic arm, Tourism Tomorrow, Inc. to develop a coordinated regional plan, together with the community, to enhance 58 miles of the White River in Marion and Hamilton counties. The goal of the vision plan is to create an accessible, recreational, and cultural environment that encourages a unique sense of place for the community as a whole. WHITE RIVER VISION PLAN TASK ONE REPORT - 5 The White River Vision Plan will promote: Connected communities with access to the Places along the water that reveal history White River for residents and visitors — our and contribute to our shared cultural two largest, most important audiences; heritage and legacy; Opportunities to experience nature and The freedom to express our identity and enhance the environmental value and highlight the diversity of our communities ecological quality of the river corridor, on the river and economic strength of our including its water quality and natural region; and habitats; A path forward that solidifies the role of New ways to get outdoors and visit the river in our everyday lives and stewards attractions, arts and entertainment our future around this shared asset. venues, hiking and biking trails, and neighborhoods; 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Call to Action The Indianapolis region is known for its abilities to set its collective sights on transformational change and rally together around a shared vision. The White River Vision Plan calls for both ambitious planning and a regional commitment to implementing change. Looking ahead, achieving these goals will require the following commitments: Cooperate Regionally A river’s environmental health and quality is a reflection of the community’s commitment. Today for the White River, the picture is muddy. Water quality challenges and flood dynamics are just two of the critical problems that face the region – neither of which can be fully addressed at the local scale. Environmental challenges like these require watershed- scaled thinking and regional cooperation. The White River Vision Plan is the region’s opportunity to move the dial on river health – bringing together the benefits and passions of ongoing initiatives (like Dig Indy) and partners (like the White River Alliance and Reconnecting to Our Waterways) under one unified vision and implementation roadmap. Shift the Mindset In surveying the river’s physical landscape and conversing with the community, one thing is abundantly clear: The river has been largely “invisible” in the daily life of residents for decades. Although connections between human health and river health are well-known to aware users and likely intuitive to even non- users, this interconnectedness is not yet resulting in positive interactions in day-to-day life. This planning process and its outcomes can unlock the river for the community, promoting more frequent visual, physical and symbolic engagement. Only when loved, remembered, and stewarded by the community can the river truly be reclaimed. A mindset shift is necessary.

    2012-2013 The history of WIBU dates back to 1985. Several local women talked with ECI Small Business Development Center’s director, Nancy Stoll, about starting an organization for women. The goal of the group was to expand their horizons, diversify their skills, develop their own good ole’ girls’ network, and provide career development opportunities with monthly educational programs. The goal was also to make the meetings more flexible with no dues or meeting obligations. To attend you need only make a reservation and pay for the meal on the months you were available. The same applies today. Meetings have been held at places such as Riley-Jones Club, Minnetrista and most recently at the Horizon Convention Center. Lunch seemed to be the best fit for meeting times after testing both breakfast and dinner. The length of the meeting was important because many truly could not take more than 1 hour for lunch. Early lunches were $7.50. Early WIBU organizers, many of whom are now deceased, were from all different walks of life: a manager of the BSU student center hotel, a restaurant owner, a travel agent, etc. Two wom- en from the ECI Small Business Development Center were ex- tremely influential in nurturing WIBU: Nancy Stoll and Barbara ArmstrongArmstrong. Our founders were involved for one reason: to help other women reach their dreams and goals. They wanted to change the business world for the better--not to toot their own horns. Together, these trail-blazing women became the first board, and developed a mission statement, bylaws and came up with a name: Women in Business Unlimited, open to all women in any position in a company—not just the business owners.

  • Hoosiers and the American Story Chapter 5
    Reuben Wells Locomotive The Reuben Wells Locomotive is a fifty-six ton engine named after the Jeffersonville, Indiana, mechanic who designed it in 1868. This was no ordinary locomotive. It was designed to carry train cars up the steepest rail incline in the country at that time—in Madison, Indi- ana. Before the invention of the Reuben Wells, trains had to rely on horses or a cog system to pull them uphill. The cog system fitted a wheel to the center of the train for traction on steep inclines. You can now see the Reuben Wells at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. You can also take rides on historic trains that depart from French Lick and Connersville, Indiana. 114 | Hoosiers and the American Story 2033-12 Hoosiers American Story.indd 114 8/29/14 10:59 AM 5 The Age of Industry Comes to Indiana [The] new kind of young men in business downtown . had one supreme theory: that the perfect beauty and happiness of cities and of human life was to be brought about by more factories. — Booth Tarkington, The Magnificent Ambersons (1918) Life changed rapidly for Hoosiers in the decades New kinds of manufacturing also powered growth. after the Civil War.

Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

  • East Central Indiana As Year’S First 21St Century Talent Region
    Press Release For Immediate Release: Friday, January 22, 2021 State officials designate East Central Indiana as year’s first 21st Century Talent Region Muncie, Indiana– Indiana Secretary of Career Connections and Talent Blair Milo virtually joined state and local officials today to announce the East Central Indiana Region as Indiana’s tenth 21st Century Talent Region, a statewide designation awarded to Indiana communities focused on working collaboratively to attract, develop and connect talent. “Over 70 individuals across the East Central Indiana Region have dedicated their focus to establishing East Central Indiana as a place where people want to live, work, play and stay,” said Secretary Milo. “Through the outstanding collaboration of these leaders and the Forge Your Path initiative, East Central Indiana is growing access to lifelong learning and opportunity for all current and future Hoosiers.” The Office of Career Connections and Talent, with support from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and technical assistance from CivicLab, launched the 21st Century Talent Region initiative to encourage local governments, businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits, and economic and workforce development partners to create and implement plans to increase educational attainment, raise household income and grow the population in a region. By taking a comprehensive, systems approach, participating regions will identify strategic priorities and projects aimed at helping its communities create a better quality of place, develop and skill up its workforce, and connect talented Hoosiers with businesses seeking to fill high-demand, high-wage jobs. “The common goal of the 21st Century Talent Region designation has catalyzed new relationships and collaborative planning across counties that are essential for East Central Indiana’s future,” said Tom Kinghorn, President and CEO of the George and Frances Ball Foundation.
