INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The Indianapolis Department of Public Works is giving millions of dollars to neighborhood infrastructure projects.
More than $2.2 in matching grants will fund 12 projects in 2021. They include sidewalk repairs and an expansion of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. All of the projects are being done with the help of neighborhood groups and nonprofits.
In announcing the funds on Thursday, Mayor Joe Hogsett said, “Not only do preferred neighborhood projects get done where neighborhoods and not for profits partner with the city, but those projects also get moved up on the priority list, so that they are done quicker, faster.”
