This week’s Sunday Post highlights holiday giving with SmartIndy and Firefly, a leadership takeaway from the Economic Club, and a look at the Ransburg YMCA’s impact in the community. I also attended the Raymond Park Science Olympiad where Warren Township hosted schools from four states, a strong reminder that Indy’s next generation of innovators is already here.

Circle Centre is becoming Traction Yards, and it signals a bigger shift: the mall era is ending and Indy needs a reinvention playbook. This week I also launched the SmartIndy Housing and Homelessness Committee to benchmark where we stand, set measurable goals, and build the Smartest City in America through community-driven policy.

Downtown Indy now has a new number: 26 percent of office space is sitting empty. In this Sunday Post I break down what that means, share new work on smarter housing and homelessness, and invite you to our free SmartIndy holiday toy drive.
