7 thoughts on “State abandons White River State Park expansion, citing budget concerns

  1. The state did not have $15,000,000 for the White River expansion due to budget issues but had hundreds of millions for the Chicago Bears project. Half of the expansion cost was being paid for by Lilly Endowment. What is the state’s $5 billion dollar surplus supposed to be used for if not the betterment of its citizens? Looks like more anti-Indianapolis, Central Indiana shenanigans from the statehouse.

  2. This is UNACCEPTABLE. The City of Indianapolis invested tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure for Elanco and White River State Park. The State has broken its promises and outright lied to the residents of Indianapolis and screwed the City when they tore down Crane Bay and now they’re doing again.

    DISGUSTING. SHAME on the State and IEDC!

  3. This is what happens when you embrace and celebrate tax cuts for the sake of, well, tax cuts. Basic services get reduced or eliminated, and amenities that make a city a better place to live get cancelled. Mike Braun and his MAGA allies in the state legislature have been the worst things to ever happen not only for Indianapolis, but for the state of Indiana.

    1. Brent, tell me more about these tax cuts. To my knowledge, the state has not cut income tax, property tax, or the gas tax. What taxes were cut? I agree, the state should follow through on projects like this before promising $ for sports stadiums, corporate welfare, etc. That said, I don’t think this decision can be blamed on the tax cut bogeyman.

  4. This has to be an all time development underachievement when you compare what was promised vs why actually got delivered. Shame on all involved.
