Why would Circle Centre pay sales tax and F&B tax?
Because it is privately owned, and therefore not exempt from paying taxes.
The location being desirable has never been the issue. It’s the crime, panhandlers, drug dealers and homeless who are allowed to hangout in or around it and harass that’s the issue. Fix that problem and then you can make it condos/apts with retail as well. This downtown needs indoor shopping for leisure and essential needs. There is a reason that tjmaxx is crowded , especially on inclement days. However, no one will come when people are allowed to steal from them without repercussion.
Make the mall a casino and shopping similar to other casinos in the State. This definitely would bring people downtown. The mall currently is such a waste for a prime location in downtown. So much potential.
I remember years ago residents begging the city turned into a Casino and
exhibits area.
The city really needs to consider it.
Yeah. Been saying casino for a long time. Would really be the highest and best use. And a significant amount of the money gambled would be out of state money.
I would consider converting the former Carson space into apartments/condos while leaving the 1st floor for retail opportunities.
Bring an aquarium restaurant like in Houston and Nashville
Need a major attraction for convention goers
Kevin P.
Completely agree.
I’ve been too downtown Nashville.
The things to do and the exhibits is amazing.
There are things that we could do here to offer convention goers.
Indianapolis needs to steal ideas!
It’s done all the time in the world of marketing.
The city should offer a trolly service to take people to and from exhibits, events,
and the entertainment districts.
As long as this city continues to elect people who have little interest in changing the appearance of downtown landscape, it will continue to flounder!
Landscape is euphemism for crime.
It is completely inexcusable for this prime real estate to sit in shambles in the center of downtown Indianapolis. It is a slap in the face to every convention goer who comes here from out of town and may have a few minutes to spare and wants to shop a bit. There is no downtown Mall! Outrageous! I have to park in the mall parking every day for work and more often than not it looks like a homeless convention. Super scary and so unattractive.
Our airport is beautiful and our downtown is a wreck. So sad, I’ve lived here 20 years, never seen it so deteriorated. What a shame.
