Beautification

In February 2006, the neighborhood partnered with Ball State’s College for Architecture & Planning: Indianapolis Center to conduct a beautification strategy session. With input from numerous residents, the Ball State team put together recommendations for a cohesive beautification plan to give the neighborhood an identifiable, signature look.

The pages from the newsletter produced by the Ball State team are available via the following links.
