    1. I still don’t understand what the mayor’s plan is. He was at the groundbreaking of this project and now is just abandoning it. He is such a dunce.

    2. Or: the Mayor finally called the developer’s bluff regarding the developer’s obligation to fund 20% of the project. When this is all finished that’s where the ball will likely land.

      A win for taxpayers.

    3. No, he’s not and the comments below eloquently point this out. If anything, he’s behind the city at every step and playing a losing game right now.

      The city called his bluff. He was never going to get an MLS team and he certainly did not have the juice to push this over the line. Look at every move Keystone has announced, it is all defensive to try to keep their planned development in place. They got caught flat footed with the announcement and scrambled to find additional funding, scrambled to show viability, scrambled now to prove they can handle the graveyard issue.

      Why do we want a soccer stadium that is never going to hold something above minor leagues? The city wants another major league team, not a minor league team that helps sell another 1000 multifamily units.

  1. Oz is not the wizard. A way better option came along and the city is pursuing it. I’ve never been a fan of Hogsett but he has had the guts to make the right decision on this one. For sure there will be tough sledding but this will all work out in the long run.

  2. According to this, Hogsett & Co. are ‘on the hook’ for reinterment themselves with the bridge development. The pan calling the pot black.

    1. The city was always going to be responsible for reinterment of excavated remains on its site—it is no surprise and this has been mentioned in news articles for years.

      Why some people on this forum seem so keen to kneel before Ozedimir, a private real estate developer who has suckled off the public teat for years is beyond me.

      You do realize that like all the other developers, he comes with his hand out and directly or indirectly spends your tax money? Personally, I am tired of the whole lot of them getting tax breaks, low-interest loans, or outright cash grants for their private projects.

      Let them put in all of their own money (or seek private investors) or go to a commercial bank and take out a loan at current interest rates—without any help from the general public. And, if their project is not feasible that way, which they *always* claim it is, then *oh well,* it just doesn’t get built.

    2. Christopher B is correct. Indy taxpayers should be thanking the mayor for having the courage to stop what was becoming a bad deal – Oz wanted more City money. People need to set aside their Indy 11 fandom and recognize that Keystone’s bright, shiny proposal was really a mirage.

  3. Oz is playing more political games – buying off the Wayne Township Trustee’s office by promising to spruce up an existing cemetery with new signage and headstones. That’s pocket change when compared to the expenses at Greenlawn.

  4. This is going to be a massive amount of remains that this little cemetery probably can’t handle.

    Why not Crown Hill? Sounds like Keystone is cheaping out and buying off a politician rather than doing what’s right.
