Neighborhood Flood Plain Revisions

The neighborhood association has received copies of the letter of Map Revision from FEMA that relieves us of the Flood Plain restrictions.

The letter and maps are available on the Yahoo site. Some hard copies will be available at the neighborhood meeting on Monday June 1. If you need a copy to send to your mortgage company or to get permits for building, you will be able to download from the Yahoo site or pick up a copy at the meeting. Your mortgage company may still require some flood insurance, but it should be dramatically less than you are paying now.

This is exciting news after so many years of working toward this goal.

Indy Food Coop Membership Drive

A number of neighborhood members are involved in the formation of the new Indy Food Coop. Now through June 30, existing members will receive gift cards for each new member they recruit.

Cottage Home Wins "Green" Grant

The City of Indianapolis announced the recipients of five Green Infrastructure Grants to help fund sustainability projects throughout the city. The grant program is funded by United Water, with support from the city's Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). Cottage Home Neighborhood Association won for its Community Space Project. The project will help create a multi-use, multi-generational green community space that can be used as an example of environmental stewardship, especially responsible stormwater management techniques.

Cottage Home is a Conservation Area

On July 2, 2008, the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to approve the Cottage Home Conservation Plan. Plan details are available at the IHPC site.
