Great Places 2020 is a collective impact effort to transform strategic Indianapolis neighborhoods into walkable town centers of culture, commerce, and community in conjunction with Indianapolis’s bicentennial in 2020. Five Indianapolis neighborhoods have been identified as these target areas. Investments in Livability, Opportunity, Vitality, and Education build on existing neighborhood momentum with a vision for vibrant, mixed-use neighborhoods welcoming residents and visitors alike.

Englewood Village was one of the first neighborhoods chosen with a focus intersection of East Washington Street and Oxford Street. Major accomplishments from Englewood Village include the development of Thomas Gregg Neighborhood School, DayStar Childcare becoming a Level 4 Paths to Quality School, the development of Oxford Place and Parker Place Senior Apartments, the redevelopment of the PR Mallory Campus, and new businesses like Uplift Produce, Trajectory, 201 Studios, Arabella, and more.
