  • Thousands Rally at Indy Statehouse, Airport Heliport Sold, Weather Woes at Indy 8 Hour

    Thousands Rally at Indy Statehouse, Airport Heliport Sold, Weather Woes at Indy 8 Hour
    Oct 19 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, October 19th.

    We begin today with breaking news at the heart of our city. Thousands gathered at the Indiana Statehouse yesterday for the No Kings rally, part of a nationwide protest against the Trump administration’s efforts around redistricting and immigration. Indy’s protest saw crowds spilling onto the south lawn and organizers say at least six thousand joined in, with passionate speeches calling for government accountability and defending free speech. The event remained peaceful and was one of the largest demonstrations in Indianapolis this year. Many familiar organizations including Indivisible Central Indiana, ACLU Indiana, and Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis played key roles. A tense moment unfolded when a Trump supporter was escorted away after bringing a firearm onto Statehouse property, but there were no arrests and the day ended as planned.

    Let’s turn to City Hall, where the Indianapolis Airport Authority Board has unanimously approved selling the downtown heliport at 51 South New Jersey Street to the city for nearly eleven million dollars. This marks a major step toward redeveloping the site, with speculation that it could one day host a Major League Soccer stadium. For fans watching this saga, the city is moving forward, but state lawmakers haven’t yet created the special tax district needed to finance a stadium.

    Shifting to weather—we’ll want to keep an eye on the sky today. Forecasters call for a mostly dry start, but storms are likely to develop this afternoon, especially after three, as a front moves in. Expect temperatures to climb near eighty before the rain arrives and brings cooler air for the week ahead. Watch out for gusty winds and heavy rain, especially for those attending events or planning outdoor activities late today.

    Speaking of events, the Indianapolis 8 Hour at the Speedway wrapped up in dramatic fashion last night. Heavy storms cut the racing short, but in the end, Team WRT took home its third straight win, with racing legend Valentino Rossi helping clinch victory under challenging weather. Fans saw only two laps of green flag racing in the final four hours due to lightning, so it was a tense finish for everyone at the track.

    Over in the job market, workers at Horseshoe Casino in Shelbyville, just southeast of Indianapolis, are striking for union recognition. More than two hundred staffers have walked off the job, holding firm until casino owners allow a union vote. This action could ripple into Indy’s casino and gaming sectors in the days ahead.

    On the real estate front, optimism is building after the downtown heliport deal, with developers eyeing new possibilities for jobs and mixed-use projects in the Warehouse District.

    Turning to education, a shoutout to Lawrence North High School whose cross-country team just advanced to the semi-state round for the second year running. Great job to the student athletes and coaches—it’s an accomplishment to be proud of.

    On the community calendar, look for outdoor fall festivals and pumpkin patches scattered through Marion County this afternoon, though keep those umbrellas close. The Indianapolis Symphony continues its fall series tonight at Hilbert Circle Theatre, and a new family-owned bakery just opened on East 38th Street, bringing fresh-baked treats and jobs to the Martindale area.

    Now a brief but important crime report. Indianapolis Metro Police are investigating two major incidents in the past 24 hours. Friday night saw a tragic hit and run on I-65 resulting in the death of Ryan King; the suspect, Bajit Singh Gill, is in custody and faces multiple charges including reckless homicide, with his trial set for December. In Owen County, authorities are looking into a fatal crash along US 231—although it is southwest of our city, it has caused traffic delays for those headed out of town.

    For a feel-good note to close, volunteers from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful teamed up yesterday to plant over two thousand tulip bulbs in Garfield Park. Their efforts are set to bloom for everyone this spring, brightening up one of Indy’s favorite gathering spots.

  • Weekend Weather, Protests, and Local Business Updates - Indianapolis Local Pulse

    Weekend Weather, Protests, and Local Business Updates - Indianapolis Local Pulse
    Oct 18 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, October eighteenth, twenty twenty-five. As we get our weekend started, we’re keeping a close eye on the weather. It’s a mild morning, temperatures rising from the low fifties, and we’ll climb into the low eighties this afternoon. Mostly cloudy skies will linger most of the day, and there’s about a twenty percent chance of scattered showers, so if you’re heading outside, keep an umbrella handy. There’s a stronger chance for storms and wind later this evening, so make sure you’ve got outdoor plans wrapped up by early evening.

    This morning downtown, crews are preparing for a series of “No Kings” protests, part of a nationwide day of action. Demonstrators are expected at Monument Circle and spots near the Statehouse, voicing opposition to congressional redistricting and the current administration. Organizers are urging nonviolence, and local leaders say extra officers are on hand to ensure safety for all. So, if you’re driving near the Circle or Capitol Avenue this afternoon, expect heavier than usual traffic and possible street closures.

    In city government news, a major development downtown: the Indianapolis Airport Authority approved the city’s purchase of the downtown heliport over on South New Jersey Street. City leaders say this move opens the door for new redevelopment options, with early discussions pointing to mixed-use projects—possibly even a new stadium for our growing soccer community. The deal is said to bring new jobs and investment into the Mile Square, and we’ll be following closely as public input sessions are set for next month.

    Meanwhile, over in the council chambers, debate continues over the settlement deal with AES Indiana. The latest compromise cuts a proposed utility rate hike by more than half, easing pressure on households for now. Still, some councilors and consumer advocates are pushing back, calling for further reductions and more transparency in future rate-setting decisions.

    On the business front, several new stores and restaurants have opened recently, especially north of ninety-sixth street. Big Sandy Superstore just opened in Plainfield, bringing new jobs in retail. Meanwhile, Birrieria Iturbidense introduced its creative birria-inspired menu to the neighborhood, and Windsor Jewelry welcomes customers back with a fresh redesign and Indiana-made collections. Job seekers may want to note that Amazon has announced hundreds of full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions locally as the holiday rush begins.

    In real estate, the market stays strong downtown, and there’s chatter about a significant property transfer up in Carmel, with the late Jim Irsay’s expansive estate officially changing hands.

    Turning to schools, congrats are in order for North Central High School’s marching band, who placed first in last night’s state regional competition. On the sports beat, the Pacers head west for a tough road stretch tonight, and the Colts are gearing up for a home game at Lucas Oil tomorrow afternoon.

    Public safety remains a top priority, especially with protests and storms expected today. Overnight, IMPD reported a quiet evening with only minor incidents. There are additional patrols downtown, and officials urge anyone attending rallies or large events to remain alert and report anything out of the ordinary.

    If you are looking for something fun, the annual Fall Harvest Festival at Garfield Park is happening today, offering food trucks, live music, and activities for kids. That’s a great way to meet neighbors and enjoy the cooler air before storms roll in.

    Finally, we want to share a feel-good moment. Shout out to a group of volunteers from Fletcher Place who spent yesterday afternoon cleaning trails along the Cultural Trail, just in time for marathon training season. Thanks to all who lend a hand to make Indy shine.

    Thank you for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily updates. This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Local News Roundup: Electric Rates, City Contracts, and Weekend Events

    Local News Roundup: Electric Rates, City Contracts, and Weekend Events
    Oct 17 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Friday, October seventeenth, two thousand twenty-five. We start with breaking news: after months of heated debate, the city and AES Indiana have finally reached a settlement over the proposed electric rate hike. According to WTHR, our city leaders’ direct intervention means AES cannot raise your base electric bill before twenty-thirty. Listeners who were bracing for an extra twenty dollars a month can breathe easier—those increases won’t happen for at least five more years. Plus, the fixed monthly charges and city street lighting rates will stay at currently approved levels, saving taxpayers millions. But it’s not all applause. As Axios and the IndyStar report, some city councilors and consumer advocates are disappointed, saying the settlement doesn’t go far enough, and some wanted the city to take over AES entirely. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has the final say, with public testimony deadlines coming up fast. For now, this is a major relief for local wallets, but the conversation about who controls our energy future is far from over.Shifting downtown, Mayor Joe Hogsett is under increasing pressure after a Mirror Indy and IndyStar investigation raised questions about conflicts of interest involving millions in city incentives. Southside Republican Councilor Michael-Paul Hart is the latest calling for Hogsett’s resignation, pointing to previous administration officials who benefited financially while overseeing major city deals. The mayor has not directly addressed the allegations, and some council Democrats say they want more details before taking sides. This story is still developing, and could have long-term effects on how city contracts and incentives are awarded on Washington Street and beyond.Meanwhile, inside City Hall, the Metropolitan Development Commission recently approved adding emergency shelter and storage uses to the zoning at Twenty Four Twenty North Tibbs Avenue, paving the way for the Noble of Indiana building to act as a winter overflow shelter and furniture distribution site for neighbors in need. Across the river, a temporary use permit for Twenty storage containers on West Julius Boulevard will help Six Stones Mission Network store and distribute toys ahead of the holiday season, a reminder of how small city decisions make a big difference in our daily lives.On the weather front, after a cool start this morning with temperatures in the low fifties, we’re looking at a mostly cloudy Friday with highs around seventy-three, according to WRTV. It’s a dry, pleasant day for fall festivals or outdoor errands, but keep an eye out—showers and even a few thunderstorms could roll in Saturday, with highs near eighty, and a much cooler, windy Sunday in the low sixties. That could impact weekend plans for the hundreds expected at the “No Kings” gatherings across the state on Saturday, including several here in Indianapolis. These events, according to the IndyStar, are being watched closely by both community organizers and public safety officials.Thinking about buying or selling a home? The city’s real estate market remains steady, with average listings hovering around two hundred forty thousand dollars, giving buyers plenty of options from Irvington to Broad Ripple. For those hunting for jobs, listings are up slightly on sites like Indeed, with openings in healthcare, logistics, and tech especially strong across the Monument Circle area.In culture, there’s no major new concert or music festival news, but small venues along Mass Ave and Fountain Square continue to draw local talent and crowds. Indianapolis Public Schools reported strong fall standardized test scores at several elementary schools, and high school football playoff matchups are set—expect packed stands at Franklin Central and Pike this weekend.On public safety, there are no major crime reports overnight in the downtown core, but IMPD reminds drivers on Keystone Avenue and 38th Street to watch for increased patrols due to recent distracted driving incidents. For our community spotlight, we want to recognize an Indy physician who is running the New York City Marathon this weekend to raise awareness for bleeding disorders—a reminder of the compassion and commitment that makes our city special.Finally, if you’re looking for something to do, check out the Emery Crossing Phase Five community meeting in Hutto if you’re on the northwest side, or explore local fall harvest markets downtown and in Garfield Park.This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse.

  • CVS Shooting Sends 3 to Hospital, Calm Weather Ahead of Weekend Storms in Indy

    CVS Shooting Sends 3 to Hospital, Calm Weather Ahead of Weekend Storms in Indy
    Oct 16 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, October 16, 2025.

    We have breaking news from an eastside CVS on 10th and Sherman, where a pharmacy dispute escalated into gunfire late last week, sending three people to the hospital, including two CVS employees and the suspected shooter. According to WTHR and 13News, police say 46-year-old Terry Rowe Junior allegedly became upset after medication wasn’t ready for pickup, later confronting and harassing a pharmacy technician in the parking lot. Surveillance shows her boyfriend arrived, and Rowe reportedly pulled a gun, shooting the tech and another employee before the boyfriend returned fire. Rowe sought treatment for a gunshot wound and was arrested this week, now facing multiple charges including battery with a deadly weapon and drug offenses. He’s being held on a $150,000 bail, and if released, will be on GPS monitoring and barred from the CVS location. The boyfriend was questioned and released. This incident underscores the risks facing retail workers downtown, and we’re keeping a close eye on court proceedings today.

    Downtown, weather is shaping up nicely for our Thursday activities. We’re starting cool and crisp near 50 degrees, with sunshine quickly warming us into the mid-70s by afternoon, according to Time and Date. Winds remain light, humidity is comfortable, and there’s no rain in sight—perfect for those outdoor meetings, walks along the Canal, or coffee on Georgia Street. Tomorrow’s forecast looks much the same, but WTHR’s weather team notes a big shift is coming Saturday: strong storms are possible, with temperatures possibly hitting the 80s before a cold front arrives. So make the most of today’s calm weather before changes roll in.

    In business news, we haven’t heard of any major Indianapolis store closings or notable openings this morning. But we’re watching the Horseshoe Indianapolis casino, where a potential dealer strike looms over contract talks. Casino management insists operations will continue smoothly, but the union election is on hold due to the ongoing government shutdown, so we’ll update you as things develop. For job seekers, the latest state reports show the Indianapolis metro area is holding steady, with unemployment just under 4% and about 6,000 openings in healthcare, logistics, and skilled trades.

    Real estate in the city core remains tight, with median home prices just shy of $230,000 and average rents hovering around $1,200 for a one-bedroom. The hot neighborhoods continue to be Fountain Square, Irvington, and near the Bottleworks District, where renovation and new construction are drawing young professionals and families. If you’re thinking of buying or selling, now is still a competitive time to make a move.

    On the community events front, this weekend brings the return of the Indy International Festival at the State Fairgrounds, celebrating our city’s diverse cultures with food, music, and dance. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has a special Halloween-themed concert Friday night at Hilbert Circle Theatre, and the Indianapolis Colts host a pep rally Saturday at Monument Circle ahead of Sunday’s home game.

    In local sports, the Colts are gearing up for a crucial AFC showdown this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, hoping to rebound from last week’s tough loss. On the prep scene, North Central High’s soccer team clinched their sectional title, while Warren Central’s volleyball squad is headed to regionals—congratulations to both teams.

    For a feel-good community note, volunteers with the Gleaners Food Bank are out in force this week, packing thousands of meals for families facing food insecurity. If you’d like to lend a hand, they’re accepting donations and volunteers at their headquarters on South Emerson Avenue.

    Finally, a reminder on safety: downtown foot patrols are increasing as we head into the weekend, and IMPD encourages everyone to stay alert, especially after dark. We’ll keep you updated on any overnight incidents or public safety alerts as they come in.

  • Indianapolis Local Pulse: Fall Foliage, Redistricting Debate, and Community Resilience

    Indianapolis Local Pulse: Fall Foliage, Redistricting Debate, and Community Resilience
    Oct 12 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, October 12, 2025. We are waking up to a true fall weekend, with a mild warming trend keeping temperatures ahead of schedule. After early morning clouds, we're looking at highs around the mid 70s this afternoon—perfect for enjoying those changing leaves around Eagle Creek Park or along the canal near downtown. If you’re headed out, remember construction has slowed traffic both ways on 465 near 16th Street and I-70 approaching Greenfield. Expect some backups and consider taking alternate routes for your Sunday plans.

    Turning to city hall, there’s significant movement on redistricting. According to Indiana Capital Chronicle, lawmakers spent much of Friday behind closed doors with Vice President JD Vance discussing a possible early redraw of district maps before the 2026 midterms. The talks remain unresolved, and protests heated up on the marble staircases of the Statehouse. It’s clear many Hoosiers oppose any rushed changes, but officials hint we could have a decision soon. The process—and debate—could affect our representation in Congress for years.

    Now let’s look at our job market and local business scene. Across Marion and surrounding counties, about 2,200 new positions are posted this week, with growing demand in healthcare and logistics especially in the corridor near Washington Street and Keystone Avenue. In real estate, Indianapolis remains a seller’s market. Median home prices are holding steady near $270,000. Realtor groups say open houses on North Meridian and around Fountain Square are seeing brisk turnout, and investors continue to show interest in multifamily properties downtown.

    For public safety, we need to mention two serious crashes from overnight. Metro Police report a fatal accident at 58th and North College Avenue early this morning—a silver car struck a truck, killing the driver and critically injuring a passenger. That car left the scene and detectives urge anyone with information to come forward. Another crash late last night closed down southbound I-65 near Southport Road, with at least one fatality confirmed. Officers are still investigating. Separately, a judge resentenced Elias Dorsey to 16 more years for the shooting of IMPD officer Brian Leith back in 2020, bringing closure for some in the department and the community.

    Sports wise, it’s a great weekend for our local teams. The IU Indianapolis Jaguars women’s volleyball team notched their fifth straight win against Robert Morris in a five-set thriller, extending their hot streak. The Colts host a divisional showdown today at Lucas Oil, coming off a hard-fought road win and looking for another big performance. High school football saw Pike and Warren Central notch decisive victories on Friday, with both teams now eyeing playoff spots.

    On the cultural front, there’s plenty to choose from. The Indianapolis Heartland Film Festival continues today with afternoon screenings at Newfields and the Kan-Kan Cinema, shining a spotlight on local filmmakers. Jazz fans will want to catch the Lincoln Park Quartet playing at Chatterbox this evening. Market-goers can head to Broad Ripple Farmers Market for pumpkins and autumn treats.

    For our schools, shoutout to North Central High, where the robotics club just won top honors at the state competition for their innovative drone project. It’s great to see young talent thriving and bringing pride to our city.

    To end on a feel-good note, we saw dozens gather yesterday near Monument Circle for the second annual Community Blanket Drive. Volunteers collected more than 800 blankets for local shelters, making a real impact as cooler weather settles in.

  • Indy's Coolest Afternoon, Budget Boosts, and Mural Bringing Hope

    Indy's Coolest Afternoon, Budget Boosts, and Mural Bringing Hope
    Oct 10 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Friday, October tenth.

    It’s a brisk start today, with temperatures below normal. We’ll barely reach the upper sixties, making this one of our coolest afternoons in months, and tonight will drop to the high thirties. There’s a good chance you’ll want a jacket if you’re heading downtown or walking in Lockerbie Square. Skies stay clear, and no major precipitation is on the radar, so outdoor plans for the weekend look safe.

    Let’s look at roadways. Construction continues near the South Split on I-70, and expect slow-downs on U.S. 31 around 116th Street as the Level Up project progresses. Local officials say side streets in Broad Ripple and Meridian Kessler will see extra traffic as drivers redirect.

    We start with breaking news out of Putnam County. A woman missing for over a week, after a house fire near Greencastle, was found alive just last night. First responders located her in a wooded area about two miles from her home, and her family reports she’s in good condition at a local hospital. Investigators are working to understand what led to her disappearance.

    Turning to city hall, the City-County Council has passed Mayor Hogsett’s 1.7 billion dollar budget this week. Police, fire, and sheriff’s departments secured a slight funding increase, strengthening public safety—it now accounts for roughly forty percent of our city spending. Meanwhile, most other departments faced cuts around four percent, and there’s a new bump in permitting fees for builders. Getting a permit for a two-thousand, five-hundred square foot home now costs about one thousand dollars, more than double last year. The city’s eviction diversion program saw its funding doubled to one point five million, helping more families at risk, and a ten million dollar commitment will aid the Streets to Home initiative, which successfully housed over a dozen people from the Leonard Street encampment.

    In business news, Moon Bar and Grill on East Maryland faces closure as its liquor license is likely to expire. After two years of reported fights, thefts, and complaints from neighbors, the Alcoholic Beverage Board voted against renewal. The owner hopes to pivot toward a sports bar, but there’s an appeal hearing set for October twenty-first.

    On the cultural front, the Indy Arts Council will maintain its one point three million budget, allowing them to continue supporting more than one hundred local artists and arts organizations. And in Broad Ripple, a new master development plan aims to revitalize the business district with improved walkability, green spaces, and mixed-use projects. Broad Ripple also expects a one hundred thousand dollar boost from new city cultural funds.

    Looking ahead, don’t miss the Fall Fest at Garfield Park Saturday afternoon, Indy Jazz Kitchen performances all weekend, and the annual Pumpkin Parade on Massachusetts Avenue tomorrow at noon.

    Schools news includes Circle City Readers’ continued partnership with ten local schools through next year, thanks to renewed city funding. Southport High’s boys soccer advanced to regionals after a hard-fought win yesterday, and IPS students earned top marks at the Central Indiana STEM Fair.

    Crime remains a concern. Police responded to several incidents at clubs downtown overnight, but no major injuries were reported. In Johnson County, a recent arrest closed a violent assault investigation, giving neighbors much-needed reassurance.

    Before we close, here’s a feel-good story. In Martindale Brightwood, the folks at Charlie Chow’s have unveiled a new mural commemorating victims of a long-ago tragedy, turning remembrance into hope and community strength. Residents say the mural on 25th Street is already bringing neighbors together.

  • "Sanchez Charged, Indy Budget Boosts, Childcare Crisis, Community Spirit | Indianapolis Local Pulse"

    "Sanchez Charged, Indy Budget Boosts, Childcare Crisis, Community Spirit | Indianapolis Local Pulse"
    Oct 9 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for October ninth, two thousand twenty-five. We're starting with some breaking news. Former NFL star Mark Sanchez is facing a felony charge after an altercation with a delivery truck driver in Indianapolis. The incident, which left both men hospitalized, occurred over a parking dispute. According to ABC News, Sanchez was the aggressor, and the driver responded in self-defense. This incident is currently under investigation.

    In other city news, the Indianapolis City Council recently approved a record budget of one point seven billion dollars for two thousand twenty-six. This includes significant investments in public works and police funding. The budget does not introduce new taxes, but there are increases in permitting fees for building projects.

    As we look at the local economy, the recent childcare funding cuts have left many families struggling. The YMCA is stepping in to help by covering before and after-school programs for affected families this month. However, they are launching a campaign to raise seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to sustain these efforts throughout the school year.

    Moving to real estate, the city is experiencing ongoing development with new projects, although specific details on recent openings or closings are scarce. The job market is also seeing changes, primarily influenced by state legislation affecting local finances.

    The weather forecast for today is sunny with highs around sixty-eight degrees. It's a great day to get out and enjoy local events, such as visiting the Indianapolis Cultural Trail or attending a Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium if you're a sports fan.

    In community news, the Indy Peace Fellowship continues to receive support for gun violence prevention efforts. Upcoming events include a series of concerts at White River State Park. Locally, Broad Ripple High School's football team recently had a strong win, and we wish them all the best for their upcoming games.

    On a lighter note, a community initiative at the Northside YMCA is providing much-needed support to families affected by childcare cuts. This initiative shows the strength of community spirit in our city.

    For today's crime report, besides the Mark Sanchez incident, there are no significant new developments. However, public safety remains a priority, especially with increased funding for law enforcement.

  • Breaking News: Sanchez Stabbed in Downtown Indy, City Responds

    Breaking News: Sanchez Stabbed in Downtown Indy, City Responds
    Oct 5 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, October 5th, 2025. We’re starting the day with breaking news that’s drawing attention across the country and right here in our city. Former NFL quarterback and FOX Sports analyst Mark Sanchez is recovering in a local hospital this morning after being stabbed during an altercation downtown early Saturday. Police say the incident happened just after midnight in the Wholesale District near the Indiana Statehouse. Both men involved, including Sanchez, are from out of town. Authorities emphasize this was an isolated event, not a random act of violence, but the nature of the disagreement remains under investigation. Mayor Joe Hogsett has called for calm and reaffirmed that Indianapolis is a welcoming and peaceful place, but the incident has still sparked debate about safety downtown. The Marion County prosecutor will make a charging decision as more details come in. For now, Sanchez remains stable and is being cared for, missing his planned call for today’s Colts game. Community support continues to pour in, with well-wishes coming from former teammates and city leaders.

    As we step outside this morning, we’re met with crisp sunshine and temperatures right around 60. It’s a beautiful autumn day ahead, with highs soaring to the low 80s under clear skies. It’s one of those rare early October weekends perfect for soaking up the last warmth before the cooler weather rolls in. If you’re heading out to the Broad Ripple Art Fair or hiking at Eagle Creek Park, pack some sunscreen and stay hydrated. No rain in the forecast, just a soft breeze and solid blue sky.

    There are lots of local happenings keeping our city vibrant. The Indianapolis Symphonic Band is playing a free concert at Garfield Park this afternoon. Later, Mass Ave is buzzing with Open Studios night—meet local artists, sip coffee or something stronger, and browse the latest creative offerings. For families, the Children’s Museum is celebrating STEM Discovery Week with hands-on activities, and don’t forget, high school football playoffs pick up Friday. Last night, Ben Davis High pulled off a stunning win over Carmel, clinching a spot in next week’s semifinal.

    On the business front, we’re watching the fallout as Google unexpectedly pulled its planned billion-dollar data center from Franklin Township earlier this week, leaving city officials scrambling to review incentives and courting other potential big tech partners. But new opportunity is still rolling in—the former Marsh building on East 54th Street just landed a commitment from a regional grocery chain, expected to bring around 120 new jobs.

    In city hall news, Indianapolis leaders are working through the findings of a major state audit into the Indiana Economic Development Corporation released Thursday. While details are still being sorted, city planners say they remain focused on transparency as new development incentives are weighed.

    For real estate watchers, reports show home inventory is up by nearly eight percent over last month and buyers have a bit more breathing room, though affordability remains a talking point.

    In today’s crime report, outside of the Sanchez incident, police responded to a handful of property crimes along 38th Street and a reported vehicle theft overnight near Fountain Square. Officers have stepped up patrols, and no serious injuries have been reported in these cases.

    We always like to end on a positive note. Yesterday, volunteers gathered at White River State Park to clean up nearly 1,000 pounds of litter, making our public spaces a little brighter. A shout out to everyone who pitched in—you’re what makes Indy strong.
