INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Millions of dollars are being invested into what the city calls one of its most struggling neighborhoods.
A total of $3.5 million will be invested into Martindale-Brightwood over the next three years as part of the Lift Indy program. Martindale-Brightwood is the second neighborhood to be inducted into this program in 2021, joining the Near North Corridor.
With the toll the coronavirus pandemic has taken on neighborhoods across Indianapolis, city leaders say it was necessary to expand this program. No neighborhood in Indianapolis was hit harder than the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood during the pandemic, according to SAVI, which uses data to improve planning and decision-making and ultimately improve the quality of life in communities. SAVI is a program of The Polis Center at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
