Commission Delays Broad Ripple Project Vote Again

The fate of a proposed $25 million mixed-use project in Broad Ripple remains unknown. The city will take two more weeks before it decides. The project calls for apartments, 340 parking spaces, and a Whole Foods at College Avenue and the Central Canal.

The Metropolitan Development Commission did not vote on a rezoning request for the project because not enough members were present for a quorum.

The proposal will be debated again October 16.

Those against the project say there are concerns with the project’s size and the impact on local businesses.
