“But at least half if not more than half of the total amount, $3 million, will be going to the

The funding for these programs has not been approved by the City-County Council, which next meets Monday. The council has yet
to post online an agenda for that meeting. The council’s Public Safety Committee gave the proposal a go-ahead for approval in June.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The Indianapolis City-County Council has handed out its first round of 2021 grants designed to help stop violence in the city.
A total of $403,000 is going to 25 groups in Indianapolis.
The grants range in size from $4,375 to $32,500. Most of the grant money is going to youth programs for educational and career training. But also, the Indianapolis Soap Box Derby Association Inc. is getting $10,000 for the storage and maintenance of soap box derby cars.
Inside of a building on the near-northwest side is where the
