Letter: Lafayette Square project looks promising

The proposed Window to the World project at Lafayette Square is the type of unique development Indy needs to showcase itself as a city on the move and show its diversity [“Developer plans $200M-plus revitalization project for Lafayette Square,” Nov. 10, IBJ.com].

I have no doubt it would bring people from all over the city and state to experience this unique concept, which could be a blueprint of how to save other failing malls across the country. Simon Property Group should pay close attention and even invest in this project on some level.

I saw a documentary done in Dallas where the Hispanic community there transformed a dead mall into something similar to this project and it’s a hit for the locals and visitors. If done right, this could be a huge hit for the city and the neighborhood and create even more economical growth in the area.
