Indianapolis - A Sustainable City

Mayor unveils agenda to establish city as one of the Midwest's most sustainable
The City of Indianapolis will join several leaders of the environmental community to announce the City’s aggressive new greening plan and sustainability initiative.
What: Press conference to announce new sustainability initiative
Who: Mayor Greg Ballard
When: Friday, October 10, 2008; 3:30-4:00PM
Where: City Market Courtyard
222 E. Market Street
Mayor Ballard recognizes that environmental sustainability is a key strategy to make sure that Indianapolis continues to be competitive in a changing world. Cities that are successful in addressing these matters have found that they can:
* Deliver long-term cost savings
* Build the local economy
* Improve community quality of life
* Enhance the local environment and public health
These objectives support The Ballard Rules, and specifically further three key Mayoral priorities: taxpayer cost-savings, community economic development, and improving neighborhood quality of life.
