“My purpose in coming before you tonight is very simple—to make sure you know and all the people of Indianapolis know that there is no neighborhood and no community that is going to be left behind by my administration,” declared Ballard.
The mayor detailed the tremendous investment in Indianapolis neighborhoods since he took office.
“From reducing crime to creating jobs, from investing in our public pools to streamlining the way we handle discrimination claims, and from our drive to improve mass transit to the revitalization of the Mayor’s Action Center, we are working every day to create a city government worthy of its citizens,” continued Ballard.
Mayor Ballard also released his list of recommendations for $4 million in Community Crime Prevention Grants. The Mayor’s recommendations came after an exhaustive evaluation process that included input from the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee.
“Several factors were part of my decision making process, including the applicant’s past outcomes related to crime prevention, the population served by the applicant, the need for the program in the area proposed, and the goals and objectives of the program. What came out of this process and these criteria is a list of programs that affect a cross section of the community and address various specialties,” said Ballard.
Southeast Community Center is recommended by the Mayor for $22,750
