"Indy's Boom, Google's Snag, and a Firefighter's Tribute: Local Pulse Update"
Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, September 27. We’re waking up to a crisp start across Marion County, with lots of sunshine on the way and highs reaching the upper 70s by midafternoon. Winds are calm, and no rain is expected—so it’s a perfect day to get out and enjoy all the city has to offer.
Let’s start downtown, where everyone’s still buzzing about that new report showing how quickly the residential population is growing and how changes in perceptions of safety are starting to reshape life near Monument Circle and Georgia Street. We’re seeing more folks choosing to live right in the heart of the city, and with big events back in the mix, foot traffic is keeping the area lively. Real estate agents say listings are going up steadily, and while prices have climbed about four percent since this time last year, there’s word that some larger apartment projects are finally opening near Mass Ave and Fall Creek, promising more options for newcomers. Over in the job market, much of the talk this week has centered on Google’s billion-dollar data center proposal. The city-county council is facing community pushback over tax incentives and transparency, so the future of that project in Franklin Township is suddenly a lot less certain, which means the several hundred tech jobs promised are now on hold. Meanwhile, the Hogsett administration points to $800 million in other new investment in the past nine months, so city leaders are quick to emphasize that Indy’s development pipeline remains strong.
In city hall news, council members are pushing for more transparency, especially with nonprofit economic development efforts and big-name corporate deals. Southside councilors have taken a firm stand on making sure neighborhood voices are not drowned out, especially on projects as large as Google’s.
Turning to public safety, we’ve seen a couple of major developments. Police have completed arrests in the July shooting near 16th and Harding Streets, where a teen named Tyson Reach fired at officers after a traffic stop. The officer, hit three times, managed to apply a tourniquet to his own wounds before help arrived and was released the next day. Three other suspects connected to that stolen vehicle have also been arrested. In another case, Deonte Nelson was found guilty of murder in the tragic shooting of Emily Willis on North Rural Street last August. The jury added a habitual offender enhancement, and sentencing is set for next month.
We’re also following community concerns about the popular Skateland rink on the far west side at 38th and High School Road. Management wants to serve alcohol to adults, but Metro Police and local businesses say the location is already dealing with problems like frequent calls and fights, so that proposal is drawing heated debate.
On the positive side, our local schools have reason to celebrate. Lawrence North’s girls’ soccer team clinched a dramatic win last night, and students at Crispus Attucks were honored for leading a food drive that collected over a thousand pounds of donations for area shelters.
Music fans can head downtown tonight as the annual Indy Jazz Fest wraps up its last weekend—every stage along Georgia Street is set to host performances, while over in Broad Ripple the outdoor fall arts fair runs through Sunday with live music, food trucks, and work from more than fifty regional artists.
If you’re on the job hunt, hiring events are happening today at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Expo Hall and at the new Amazon facility west of Speedway, so bring a resume if you’re looking for warehouse, logistics, or hourly work.
And here’s our feel good story for the weekend. Eli Johnson, a local firefighter, surprised his fifth-grade teacher from IPS School 70 with breakfast and a donation for classroom supplies. After 20 years, he credits her for sparking his sense of service when he was a kid on the east side.
