Meet Joseline Medina
We Had A Visitor At Our April Meeting
Metropolitan School District of Pike Township, Dr. Larry Young, Superintendent, did a presentation on the school referendum which will be on the May 7th primary ballot.
Referendum:
Shall the Metropolitan School District of Pike Township, Marion County, Indiana, increase property taxes paid to schools by homeowners and businesses for eight (8) years immediately following the holding of the referendum for the purpose of funding the Pike Township School’s Funding Sustainability initiative, which includes funding loss learning enhancement programming and staff recruitment, teacher and staff retention and recruitment efforts, professional development opportunities for staff, and enhanced school safety and security programs and projects? If this public question is approved by the voters, the average property tax paid to schools per year on a residence would increase by 36.4% and the average property tax paid to schools per year on a business property would increase by 31.4%. The most recent property tax referendum proposed by the school corporation was held in 2010 and passed.

A Newer Plan
Last night at the Pike Township Residents Association meeting the developers of the old Ropkey property updated their plan for the property.
New Plan
The Crossing At Traders Point, (former Ropkey/Beeler properties and now owed by Kite) now has a new plan for developing the property. It is currently being purchased by Cornerstone Companies, Inc. and GCG Investments, LLC contingent on zoning which was approved by the city on July 27th. Pike Township Residents Association Board was opposed to this project. All of the neighbors around this property were also opposed. PTRA has appealed this decision and it will be decided on August 17th. This 200-acre property sits on the southwest quadrant of I465 and 86th Street. The plan has been updated several times. This is the most current. It was distributed last night at a meeting with the developers and neighbors. It was a standing-only crowd at the meeting last night with about 200 people present.
