NOTIONS: Beyond the biased barriers of Beaver Cleaverville

March 24, 2008

I grew up on the outskirts of Omaha, Neb.; Lafayette and Fort Wayne. Each time we moved, we wound up near the line where the suburbs met the farm fields. For a kid, this had advantages. You could ride your bike down miles of country roads, hike through newly plowed furrows or climb through construction sites after the Amish workers had called it a day. Mostly, you watched one world advance and the other retreat. The houses in our neighborhoods…

Hoosier Heartland Highway pumps up hope on prairie

March 17, 2008

Hoosier Heartland Highway pumps up hope on prairie Expressway construction starting two years early LAFAYETTE-For years, they’ve driven on little more than paved-over wagon trails pioneers carved into the hills nestling the Wabash River. Motorists on State Road 25 between Logansport and Lafayette have grown desperate for a replacement: the final, 33-mile western leg of […]

Knauf plans state’s first ‘gold-certified’ building

March 17, 2008

in an uncommon move among Indiana manufacturers typically more preoccupied with foreign competition and deteriorating margins,
Knauf Insulation is rebuilding its research and development facility, destroyed in a fire last year, to make it 30 percent
more energy-efficient than a conventional office building of its size.

Hoosier Heartland Highway pumps up hope on prairie: Expressway construction starting two years early

March 17, 2008

LAFAYETTE-For years, they’ve driven on little more than paved-over wagon trails pioneers carved into the hills nestling the Wabash River. Motorists on State Road 25 between Logansport and Lafayette have grown desperate for a replacement: the final, 33-mile western leg of the “Hoosier Heartland Highway.” Today, the Hoosier Heartland expressway ends in Logansport-the western terminus of a newly improved, four-lane U.S. 24 that runs east, to Fort Wayne. But last month Gov. Mitch Daniels surprised highway proponents with word that…

Lauth lays off another batch of workers

March 14, 2008

Indianapolis developer Lauth Group Inc. is letting go of dozens of employees in its second round of layoffs this year. A spokesman for the Lauth, which had frantically added employees in recent years to manage a booming development pipeline, said the economy is to blame for the reverse in course. “As a direct result of […]

Indy’s IKEA hopes dashed, but not decimated

March 12, 2008

What does Cincinnati have that Indianapolis doesn’t? As of today, an IKEA. The popular Swedish home-furnishings chain opened its 34th U.S. store this morning in suburban Cincinnati, its final foray into the Midwest after a five-year growth spurt that never quite made it to Indianapolis. Instead, IKEA chose to add locations in Bloomington, Minn., near […]

Businesses eager for canal to be a ‘selling point’ again: Water should be back – and sparkling – soon

March 10, 2008

For nearly five months, leasing agents at Canal Overlook Apartments have relied on photos and visual aids to show potential renters what a perk a canal view can be. If the would-be renters take a gander now, all they get is a view of a drained Central Canal and workers scraping out decades worth of slime. “It is usually a selling point, but [the cleanup] has been long and it smells bad,” said Lynn Grine, leasing manager for the 125-unit…

Housing slump puts Gramercy project in Carmel on hold:

February 25, 2008

The deteriorating housing market and Carmel’s plans to build more roundabouts have led The Buckingham Cos. to put the brakes on its ambitious Gramercy development project. The $500 million project set to begin in the spring now has no timetable. But when construction ultimately commences, it likely will begin with the commercial and retail portions rather than the home-building portion, as was originally planned, said Clyde Lee, a spokesman for the local developer. “They have revised the plans,” Lee said….

Work to resume on Getrag transmission plant

February 21, 2008

Construction on the Getrag transmission plant north of Indianapolis will resume Monday, now that the German transmission maker and its partner on the project, Chrysler LLC, have settled a dispute.

Uphill battle ahead: State poses tough test for new enviro leader

February 11, 2008

By the time Jesse Kharbanda earned a Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford, the University of Chicago student already knew he wanted to advocate environmental policies in the developing world, someday. Eight years later, some might say Kharbanda has landed in the developing world, all right-Indiana, insofar as it’s considered the backwater of environmental stewardship. One might recall the state’s 49thplace ranking in a 2007 review of “greenest” states by Forbes magazine. Only West Virginia-a national leader in illiteracy-scored worse….

Officials plan streetcar comeback

February 5, 2008

Some top civic leaders have quietly created a not-for-profit organization to study and build a streetcar “circulator” system downtown. Downtown Indianapolis Streetcar Corp. would bring the electric vehicles to the streets for the first time since the 1950s. Notable members of the group include Bob Bedell, former president of the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, […]

Developer with environmental bent has $20M pipeline of projects

February 4, 2008

Expensive suits and luxury cars are standard issue for most developers, but not for the owners of locally based Casa Verde
LLC. Three of four owners sport beards. They build only Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certified
projects. But don’t let the hippie image mask the company’s mission: Make green by building green.

Local builders slash jobs, offices to survive housing slump

January 28, 2008

At the market’s peak, builders churned out more than 12,000 new homes a year in central Indiana. In the current slump, new-home
production has dropped to fewer than 7,000 per year, leaving builders with no choice but to slash prices, eliminate hundreds
of jobs, and look to unload huge chunks of office space.

Lawmaker wants car owners to be aware of data recorders

January 28, 2008

The “event data recorder,” a so-called black box car makers have installed in their cars over the last decade and a half as
part of air-bag systems, can be a double-edged sword for motorists. Yet they likely don’t even know it’s spying from under
their seat or dashboard.

Westfield hopes to draw business farther north

January 21, 2008

Westfield hopes to draw business farther north New development could reduce residential tax rates Judge and Ging Jones moved to Westfield more than a decade ago to escape the congestion and crowds of Carmel.

Opie piece making a permanent home on Mass Ave: More businesses are playing a supporting role in burgeoning public art scene

January 21, 2008

Good news for fans of Julian Opie’s pop-art-inspired exhibit that ended a year-long run on city streets in September-Indianapolis is getting a permanent piece by the London artist to add to its growing public art collection. The work created for Indianapolis is called “Ann Dancing.” It’s reminiscent of the four-sided LCD display dubbed “Sara Dancing” that made its home at the northwest corner of Illinois and Maryland streets. But this female stick figure has a bit more juice in her…
