The town of Speedway has incredible potential. It just needs the right redevelopment. They have some of the best rated schools in the metro and near downtown. Hopefully it gets more attention in the long run.
💡 That dormant hotel location would be a perfect ‘stay and visit’ package. IMS is open year round. Hotel could hook up with IMS for museum and rides around the oval + dining at at a hotel 1-2-3 day packages with tour bus included.
I think the failed hotel project should be developed into an expanded Speedway Public Library.
disagree, why would you use that prime commercial space for a library which doesn’t need to be in the center of the lone Speedway entertainment district!
Good article and congrats the Grant K, the Town and the Redevelopment Commission, job well done and much more to accomplish!
The vacant and partial hotel should certainly follow the hotel designation and kept as a user friendly and accessible high quality facility without going down an exclusive or luxury only route. Keep Dave Wilson around as the town voice and promoter! 🙂
A USAC/Short Track museum to compliment whats inside IMS would be great as well, so much racing history in Indiana to showcase and what better area to do it in then near the USAC headquarters off of 16th St
Get the hotel built and continue to add businesses and entertainment to Main St
