“The Indy Neighborhood Infrastructure Partnership is an opportunity for neighborhood groups and other community-based organizations to apply for matching funds from the City for public infrastructure projects,” said Mayor Joe Hogsett. “As Washington is now talking about upgrades to our major infrastructure across the United States, Indianapolis is making sure that the projects right outside our door aren’t missed.”

In November 2020, Indy DPW announced it would begin accepting applications from community-based organizations for the fourth consecutive year of the program. This matching fund program was made available for improvement projects in the public right-of-way that would benefit all neighbors including roads, sidewalks, multi-use paths, and bridges.

More information on the program and partner projects can be found at indy.gov/DPW.
