• COMMUNITY COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH: MIDTOWN INDY PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED FOUR ISSUES OF THE MIDTOWN INDY MAGAZINE IN 2025, REACHING APPROXIMATELY 24,000 HOUSEHOLDS AND BUSINESSES PER ISSUE THROUGH DIRECT MAIL AND LOCAL DISTRIBUTION. THE MAGAZINE SERVES AS A KEY COMMUNICATION TOOL PROVIDING RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES WITH INFORMATION ON COMMUNITY RESOURCES, DEVELOPMENT UPDATES, LOCAL EVENTS, NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. DUE TO STRONG COMMUNITY DEMAND AND POSITIVE READER FEEDBACK, MIDTOWN INDY EXPANDED THE PUBLICATION BY 8 ADDITIONAL PAGES TO INCREASE COVERAGE OF LOCAL CONTENT. THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS INFORMED COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND STRENGTHENS CONNECTIONS AMONG RESIDENTS, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND LOCAL BUSINESSES ACROSS THE MIDTOWN SERVICE AREA.

  Expenses $59,088

• INCREASING FOOD ACCESS THROUGH URBAN FARMING: IN 2025, MIDTOWN INDY UTILIZED GRANT FUNDING TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW URBAN FARM ON A PREVIOUSLY VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL WITHIN A DESIGNATED FOOD DESERT. MIDTOWN INDY COORDINATED A PARTNERSHIP THAT ENABLED THE SALE OF A CHURCH-OWNED PROPERTY TO A LOCAL ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO LONG-TERM COMMUNITY USE, ESTABLISHING THE SITE FOR AGRICULTURE PURPOSES. MIDTOWN INDY ALSO SUPPORTED THE IDENTIFICATION OF A MINORITY URBAN FARMER WHO WILL LEASE-TO-OWN THE PROPERTY, CREATING A PATHWAY TO LAND OWNERSHIP AND LONG-TERM ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. GRANT FUNDS WERE USED TO PREPARE THE SITE FOR FARMING, INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF RAISED GARDEN BEDS, SOIL, FENCING, A STORAGE SHED, AND SITE SIGNAGE. THE URBAN FARM IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO FRESH FOOD AND SERVE AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE THROUGH POP-UP MARKETS, EDUCATIONAL WORKSHIPS FOR ALL AGES, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. THIS INITIATIVE ADVANCES FOOD ACCESS, EQUITABLE LAND USE, AND COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION WITHIN THE MIDTOWN SERVICE AREA.
