5 thoughts on “Cash-strapped Indy Parks seeks creative financing for community center

  1. Interesting partnership. As a P&R professional, makes you rethink the potential for PPP in other projects and for other communities around the country.

  2. I think it would benefit Kahlo to visit the Avondale Meadows YMCA to see how the Healthnet, YMCA, UNECDC and MCF have co-located. Without the partnership, the development would not have been possible. This seems to be following the same model. The real truth would be in the details on long term care/maintenance of the building.

  3. Once again, no genuine public input but nice contracts for the consultants. At least this is only $20 million, versus the $118 million currently planned to ‘redevelop’ Riverside Park, the very park that proves Indy Parks inability to provide basic maintenance to existing facilities. The facade of public input on that proposal was a joke – it begins with plan to close to historic golf courses, then holding public meetings announced on WTLC and the Indy Recorder. But their own survey indicates remarkably strong support for keeping the golf courses and improving them, and clear understanding that Indy Parks fails utterly at basic upkeep. (Survey is here although few Indy residents ever saw it given 300 total respondents – https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-2N6SB5KH/) Time to reset this parks planning and hold a public referendum.

    Meanwhile, see Blue Indy for a lesson in public-private partnerships, one that also launched with zero public input or transparency, despite the $6 million invested by city and $3 million IPL investment covered by ratepayers. Watch out for those potholes!

  4. We do NOT need more health care providers in Broad Ripple! There are primary care offices from every major hospital system and now there will be 2 urgent care centers in the village. This is NOT a good use of the space and there is no proven need for this. There are so many other needs that could be addressed for the center: child care; head start; etc., etc.

  5. Interesting statements. Certainly, one can understand the thought that all park facilities should be for the public. But, give the financial opportunity to establish a benefit for the community more cost-effectively is not without merit. Generalizations about blue and red with respect to the City Council are sophomoric as best and certainly do not reflect understanding of federal administration guidelines that strongly support public private partnerships. Furthermore, a medical facility facilitating heath and well being coupled community center close to a park entrance is indeed a much better fit than drilling and mining on public lands, an endeavor also supported by this federal administration. Gray reflects the junction of black and while, And, red and blue create purple.
