Important Meeting Dates

JACK BUTLER PARK

Indy Parks is hosting a Community Engagement Meeting to review Building Plans for the Community Center at the new Park at County Line and Paddock Rd.  This is a follow-up meeting where public comments were taken for what activities folks wanted to see in this new park.

      June 2 – 6:30-8:00 PM – Winding River Golf Course Clubhouse (8015 Mann Rd)

 There is a lot of uncertainty about the Parks Department naming this park after Jack Butler.  It was our understanding when the land was donated that Jack Butler Park was indeed the name.  Since then, Parks Department Representatives have backed off that.

The June meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board is to discuss the naming of the Park.  Again, Parks representatives have been unclear as to their intentions at this meeting.

    June 17 -- 4:00-5:00 PM
City-County Building, Room T-221  (200 E Washington St)

We need a big turnout for this meeting.  Stay alert to date, time, and location – when we get that information, we will send it out immediately.

 

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE

The City is reworking parts of the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan that was just adopted in 2018.  It is unclear how much the City’s work will affect property in Decatur Township. 

 The Great Reveal – June 11, 5:30-8:00 PM – Decatur Township School for Excellence (presumably the Community Room on the 2nd floor)  the intention is for this to be an open house format where folks come and go during the allotted time.

 There will be an online portal at some point, where we can all add our comments to the proposed changes.

On June 30 there will be a Countywide Public meeting at 5:30-8:00 PM at Martin University.  The format is not clear.

 Either late this year or early next year, there will be four meetings dividing the County into quadrants for the draft Plan and further public comment.  No dates, times, or locations have been announced.
