Southside Co-Working Space Planned

Jill Sheridan

INDIANAPOLIS -- A new south side space dedicated to helping entrepreneurs expand their businesses is rolling out its plan at a public meeting Wednesday night.

The Southside Business Initiative will provide a co-working space for startups and other small businesses looking to connect with resources for their growing enterprises at a more affordable rate.

The space will accept members who can benefit from amenities like workspaces, conference rooms, high-speed Internet and website profiles.

The model is based on similar initiatives like Launch Fishers and zWorks and will be the first co-working space on the south side of Indy.

Memberships cost $500 yearly and $50 monthly. An anonymous $30,000 donation is helping kick-start the project that hopes to open this fall.

The public launch is being held where the new space will be, at Cardinal Insurance on S. Madison Ave.
