Mega-hotel on city agenda: Pan Am Plaza possible site for 800-room development

March 20, 2006

The city is looking for developers interested in adding 800 hotel rooms downtown, a project that could be accomplished by building a massive, new hotel or augmenting several existing facilities. Insiders say a new hotel is most likely. They picture it on Pan Am Plaza. If that happens, the hotel would become the city’s largest-eclipsing the Indianapolis Marriott by almost 200 rooms. Ideally, the rooms would be available by 2010, when the wraps come off the expanded Indiana Convention Center….

Health construction beat marches on in Hendricks: Population growth spurs health care development

October 31, 2005

A growing population is breeding more multimillion-dollar health care projects in Hendricks County. Danville-based Hendricks Regional Health will begin work next month on a $16 million medical office building more than a year after completing a $24.5 million hospital expansion, and St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers is staking its claim with a $4.7 million medical office under construction in Plainfield. Meanwhile, Clarian Health Partners plans to bulk up parts of the 76-bed hospital it opened just last year in…

Florida sun is shining on PRI trade show: Growth could jeopardize event’s return in 2010

October 17, 2005

The sun is rising on a new era for the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show-in Orlando. Formerly one of Indianapolis’ three biggest trade shows, PRI is now growing great guns in the Sunshine State. With 700-plus more booths sold this year over 2004, its last year here, and an additional 250 exhibitors added to the show’s 2005 lineup, the grass in Orlando-and PRI’s bank account-appears quite a bit greener. “We knew there was pent-up demand, but we didn’t think there…

Counties, cities welcome food/beverage tax: Suburbs see extra funds as way to balance budgets

August 1, 2005

Several suburban cities and counties that have approved new food and beverage taxes view the windfall as a panacea for their budget woes. Six of the seven counties surrounding Marion County, excluding Morgan, have OK’d the 1-percent surcharge to help fund a new stadium for the Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Convention Center expansion. Morgan County councilors turned down the measure at a June meeting. The legislation, approved during the past session, directs counties to contribute half the food and beverage…

Up to the challenge: Stadium project leader has been here before

May 30, 2005

John Klipsch didn’t necessarily set out to take control of one of the largest public-works projects in Indianapolis history, but he prepared for it nonetheless. “My degree is in counseling,” he said with a wry smile. “This is how my career has evolved over the years.” So here he is, two months before work is scheduled to begin on a $900 million stadium construction and convention center expansion project, relying on his professional experience and personal dedication to get the…

STATEHOUSE DISPATCH: Tax talk begins to make Republican lawmakers hinky

February 14, 2005

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this session’s first five weeks has been all the talk about imposing or raising taxes. A surfeit of Republicans ran for assorted offices last year complaining about the condition of the state budget, but pledged to bring it back into balance by attacking fraud and waste, and simply cutting more programs. Many Democrats who ran against them acknowledged budget “issues,” but suggested they could be managed and the budget would not be balanced on…

Studies praised, panned in convention, stadium debate: Proponents say marketplace provides more evidence

January 31, 2005

Numbers may well tell the story about the need for a larger convention center and new stadium in Indianapolis, but the question remains: Is it fact or fiction? Even as proponents work to sell lawmakers on a plan to expand the Indiana Convention Center and replace the RCA Dome, some skeptics aren’t sold on all the information used to make the case. “There are a lot of questions [decision makers] ought to be asking,” said Rick Eckstein, a Villanova University…
