“The opening of the Community Powered Infrastructure application process marks the next chapter in our city’s commitment to neighborhood-driven improvements.,” said Mayor Hogsett. “These investments ensure that every Indianapolis resident can take pride in their neighborhood. I encourage all of our communities to apply, share their ideas, and join us in shaping a more connected, vibrant future for our city.”

"In recent years, INIP has supported a broad range of projects—sidewalks, crosswalks, and other vital enhancements—that bolster both pedestrian safety and multi-modal transportation options," said Councilor Kristin Jones, Chair of the Public Works Committee.
