“To my surprise I immediately found what I was looking for. I quickly narrowed my site search. I made my next trip to Indy extremely productive and the information paved the way for drafting a business plan in September (again using this website) that, in 2005, will see the redevelopment of an older decaying property and will see the creation of at least three new businesses, two of which will be medically-related and which will create over 70 new jobs in the city.  The three-building Shadeland Medical Plaza, a fifteen million dollar new medical complex, started site work in late 2003 and we expect to break ground on the construction of the buildings next month [May 2004]. Your internet service simplified our research, saved us time and money and provided a cross-connected data base in one location that was easy to access even from far away.”

"Indianapolis is proud to be the first in our region to launch such an innovative, high powered economic development tool.  The Portal makes accessing information about urban properties easy and it encourages commercial developers to think about the once overlooked inner city."
–Roland Dorson, Executive VP, The Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce
