BUILDING A NEIGHBORHOOD OF CHOICE

The 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Housing Committee, and a newly formed entity known as Super Bowl Legacy Housing Inc., is focused on positively impacting up to 200 units of housing on the Near Eastside creating a mixed-income "neighborhood of choice" as part of the Legacy Project.

Why redevelop in the Near Eastside?

Proximity to downtown, public transportation, and the connectivity provided by local trail systems combined make this neighborhood an ideal location for redevelopment. 

Moreover, approximately 30% of the homes in this target area consist of vacant lots or vacant, abandoned, or foreclosed homes.

Who is involved?

A diverse and comprehensive team of partners was assembled to create a "game plan" and implementation strategy to be executed by February 2012 in order to trigger private investment.

This team consists of non-profit and for-profit partners including planning and development professionals with a wealth of experience in comprehensive community development, affordable housing initiatives, new urbanism, and urban redevelopment projects.
