i INDIANAPOLIS REGIONAL CENTER PLAN 2020 As we look to the future of both our City and our Downtown the outlook is bright.  Driven by our diverse regional economy, Downtown will continue to serve as the heartbeat of activity for Central Indiana, where businesses, residents, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs and visitors will come together in an environment of energy and creativity.  With a varied blend of new projects, like the redevelopment of the former Market Square Arena site, we will see new businesses and jobs throughout the Regional Center.  Downtown also will be critical to the future growth of the BioCrossroads- Central Indiana Life Sciences Network, where the northwest quadrant will serve as the site of a research community for innovation that will be both life enhancing and life saving. -Bart Peterson, Mayor, City of Indianapolis DEPARTMENT OF METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OF PLANNING INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA PREPARED IN COOPERATION WITH: THE  GREATER  INDIANAPOLIS  PROGRESS  COMMITTEE INDIANAPOLIS  DOWNTOWN  INCORPORATED BALL  STATE  UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING  INDIANAPOLIS CENTER ADOPTED  BY THE METROPOLITAN  DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 04-CPS-R-001  MARCH 3, 2004
