Gateway Projects
Rotary Gateways Partnership
The year-long design competition for a monumental gateway in the area of I65 & West Street resulted in the December decision to select the Kevin Parsons & Associates Team and their design concept. It was a difficult choice to make since all five final submissions were posted by strong locally-led teams, several of which included national and international members.
 
Several panels of experts and strategic stakeholders; and public exhibits held at City Market, Bethel AME Church, the Madame Walker Museum, the Center for Sports Medicine, at Rotary and Indiana University’s Emerging Technologies Center provided input on all aspects of the proposals. A vote taken over the net through this website yielded close to 400 responses – beginning in September. It is still receiving responses. Please continue to register your thoughts and opinions as the Gateway Partnership effort progresses!  COMPLETE STORY
