What projects is my government investing in Indianapolis?
Every tracked government-money announcement directed at Indianapolis — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.
Summary
Government money leans toward the social fabric, schools and transport. The clearest commitments put over $100 million into residential street resurfacing and $100 million into mental health services, alongside major small-business support.
WATCH Watch whether street resurfacing and mental-health funding become visible in neighborhoods and services.
