ReEnergize East Washington Street | 2 About thE EASt WAShington StREEt PARtnERShiP
The East Washington Street Partnership is a collaborative effort to foster sustainable economic development and revitalization along one of Indianapolis most important commercial and industrial corridors. The East Washington Street Vision Plan, which preceded this planning effort, recommended that the revitalization of the East Washington Street corridor would be best accomplished through the coordination and partnership of three local neighborhood based community development corporations, each contributing their unique assets and experience to promote and manage the corridor’s rebirth. Upon this recommendation, Englewood Community Development Corporation (ECDC), Indy-east Asset Development (I- AD) and Southeast Neighborhood Development (SEND) have agreed to a loose collaboration preliminarily known as the East Washington Street Partnership. In April 2012, Joe Bowling became the first Director of the East Washington Street Partnership with current staffing responsibilities residing within ECDC. To date, efforts seek to partner economic revitalization with neighborhood revitalization in a manner that encourages residential and employment growth, improves property values and the local tax base, improves ecological quality, and promotes the transformation of a struggling, degraded corridor into a vibrant, mixed-use urban address. Looking at a range of development sites with long- and short-term potential, the goals of the plan are to increase the number of jobs for the community and to support a long-term policy vision of re-introducing rail transit along the corridor. 2013•2020 | 3 Table of Contents invEntoRy + outREAch..................................................................................................... 5 Public Outreach + Stakeholder Engagement ....................................................................................................... 6 Better Block Public Input ..................................................................................................................................... 7 Location + Neighborhoods .................................................................................................................................. 8 Demographic Summary ....................................................................................................................................... 9 Location + Land Use Context ............................................................................................................................ 10 Urban Form + Infrastructure ............................................................................................................................... 11 Local Places + Landmarks ................................................................................................................................ 12 Local Character ................................................................................................................................................. 13

Meetings were held with major businesses along the corridor to discuss the challenges and opportunities of operating industrial businesses in the corridor. There was broad agreement that the major assets of this corridor were the location (near downtown) and transport access to I-65 as a trucking route and the CSX operated freight rail line. There was also universal agreement that major challenges included unreliable power service and a lack of vehicular access south of Washington Street. MuniciPAl PARtnERS A meeting was held as part of this planning process that sought the input of officials from the City of Indianapolis. Important relationships moving forward include partnering with the city on the future development of city-owned properties, such as the PR Mallory site. In addition, many sites within the corridor involve working with the city on brownfield issues. Moving forward, the city sees this area as an opportunity for new jobs, education and training.

Meetings were held with private sector developers to assess potential interest in new projects on Washington Street. There was a strong consensus that focusing on the area nearest to downtown offered the most near-term potential for market-rate development. The group also felt that trails facilitating pedestrian access to downtown would add value to the corridor. There was significant interest in the historic Ford Building and for new urban residential development in the Holy Cross neighborhood near Angie’s List. 2013•2020 | 7 BETTER BLOCK PUBLIC INPUT Public Input Table Image Credit: BigCar Flickr Public Survey Response Image Credit: BigCar Flickr Idea Notes, Image Credit: BigCar Flickr
Better Block Indy held an event on June 8th, 2013, where East Washington Street from Rural to Oxford was transformed into a life-sized model of a thriving, connected neighborhood center. For one day, this short stretch of Washington Street was home to temporary “landscape” medians and bike lanes, as well as pop-up shops, a transit station, and a storefront for public input into the Re-Energize East Washington Street planning effort. Organizers of Better Block Indy: East Washington Street include the East Washington Street Partnership, the Englewood Community Development Corporation, the John H. Boner Community Center, Indy-east Asset Development, and Big Car. The “Better Block” project is a national initiative. It provides a demonstration tool to help cities around the United States that are looking for ways to redevelop communities that enable multi-modal transportation, while increasing economic development and reducing carbon emissions. “Better Block” events act as a living charrette so that communities can actively engage in the city-building process and provide feedback on various efforts real time. More information can be found at betterblock .org. More information about Better Block Indy: East Washington Street may be found at https://www.facebook.com/betterblocks.indy. Turnout to the event was very strong and over eighty people took a questionnaire on topics such as focus areas, jobs, and housing. While many views were presented, there was a strong opinion that the Rural Street and PR Mallory area as well as the area near downtown would be good locations for focused near- term redevelopment strategies.

2013•2020 | 9 incoME coMPARiSon EducAtionAl AttAinMEnt DEMOGRAPHIC summary Over the five-year period from 2012-2017, Marion County’s population is expected to grow 2.4%, while the study area is expected to outpace that growth at a rate of 5% over the same period to reach a population of 4,010. This rate is slightly more than the 4.7% rate expected for the Indianapolis-Carmel MSA over the same period. The number of households in Marion County is expected to fall over the next five years. However, the number of households in the study area is expected to rise. 36% of the working age population in the East Washington study area has no high school diploma or GED, compared with only 16% in Marion County. The study area is also far behind the county-wide average of residents with at least some college education. This can affect East Washington’s ability to attract higher-value employers in new and dynamic fields. At $21,897 per year, median household incomes in the study area are less than half (48%) of those in Marion County. Over the next five years, household incomes in the study area are expected to grow at less than half the rate of Marion County. A third of the housing units in the study area are vacant, more than double the vacancy rate of Marion County at 13%. The study area has a higher percentage of renter-occupied housing units than the county as well.
