  • 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’.

    SUCCESS STORY New Deal Public Housing Gets New Life Indianapolis, Indiana THE STORY During the New Deal, the Public Works Administration launched a program of federal public housing projects to provide needed low-cost housing. One of the first projects, Lockefield Gardens, was designed to maintain the spirit and vitality of its constituent “When Lockefield was built, African American community while offering a modern, modestly priced place to live. it became a source of pride Completed in1936, it became a national model for high design standards, superior construction quality, and innovative landscaping techniques. The federal government and of hope for the local transferred the property to the City of Indianapolis in 1964 with a deed stipulation that it community...” would be used for public housing until 2004 or would revert to the federal government. —NaTIONAL REGISTER THE PROJECT NOMINATION In the 1970s, the City proposed demolishing the housing project using federal funds to 1983 expand campus housing for Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). The City claimed Lockefield Gardens had declined in quality, and other housing options for low-income residents existed. As a result, the apartments officially closed in 1976. However, the City could not proceed unless the reversionary clause was waived and the use of federal funds was approved for demolition. THE 106 PROCESS The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the federal agency authorized to approve the waiver and use of federal funds, was responsible for conducting the Section 106 process under the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106 requires that federal agencies identify historic properties and assess the effects of the projects they carry out, fund, or permit on those properties.

  • Recent Articles, Pamphlets, and Dissertations in Indiana History
    Recent Articles, Pamphlets, and Dissertations in Indiana History Editor’s Note. This list of articles, pamphlets, and dissertations published in 1980 and 1981 is intended as a bibliographic contribution to Indiana’s history. As our first list of this kind, it is neither complete nor systematic in coverage. With this first effort as an experiment we hope to be able to present a list in each March issue of the Indiana Magazine of History. Readers can help in this objective by sending items for possible inclu- sion. We are especially interested in listing publications that make some contribution to understanding Indiana’s past but are not normally reviewed in the IMH. Generally, we will not list newspaper articles or accounts of local historical society activities (which are reported in the Indiana History Bulletin), but printed pamphlets as well as journal articles may be listed. All such items for the March, 1983, issue must be received by December 1, 1982. Many people have contributed to the present list, but major responsibility has rested with Robert G. Barrows of the Indiana Historical Bureau and Gary L. Bailey of the Indiana Magazine of History.

Sulgrove. Indianapolis grew slowly until the 1850s. Indiana’s largest cities were New Albany and Madison, where the Ohio River facilitat- ed trade. In Indianapolis, the White River was unnavigable, and the planned Central Canal failed in 1939. While the newly built National Road (Washington Street) provided a slightly improved artery for trade, there simply was no reliable way to bring goods to the city or transport them to external markets. During this period W.R. Holloway noted that “business was entirely of a local character. Manufacturing was merely for home consumption.” 1 Early European settlers Some of the city’s earliest European settlers farmed along the north- western reaches of Indiana Avenue and operated mills on the tributaries of Fall Creek.

Our second White River Vision Plan community open house The White River Vision Plan is a community-driven process in Indianapolis and Hamilton County 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 effort between the City of Indianapolis and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc. in partnership with Visit Indy’s philanthropic arm, Tourism Tomorrow, Inc. The Vision Plan would not be possible without the concerted efforts of our shareholder partners, the White River Alliance, Friends of the White River, and Reconnecting Our Waterways.
