MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DOWNTOWN
THAT REALLY HELPING TO TRANSFORM

8
00:00:53.386 --> 00:01:00.827
THAT CITY.
>> YEAH. THAT'S -- IT WAS
APPARENT YEARS AGO THAT THEY
WERE REALLY VISITING IN

9
00:01:00.827 --> 00:01:06.399
INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP,
WE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS, YOU COULD
SEE THE LEADERSHIP FROM THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE THROUGH THE

10
00:01:06.399 --> 00:01:13.506
CHAMBER, THROUGH THE STATE
SUPPORT THROUGH THE ISBDC OFFICE
DOWN THERE, THAT THEY WERE
REALLY COMMITTED TO BUSINESS,

11
00:01:13.506 --> 00:01:18.178
INNOVATION, AND
ENTREPRENEURSHIP, I THINK WE'RE
GOING TO START TO SEE THE FRUITS
OF THAT INVESTMENT AND

12
00:01:18.178 --> 00:01:26.186
INFRASTRUCTURE HERE IN THE
COMING YEARS.
>> IT'S NICE TO SEE THE HARD
WORK OF MAYOR WINNECKE AND

13
00:01:26.186 --> 00:01:35.261
LEADERS WHO HAVE WORKED THIS A
LONG TIME REALLY PAY OFF, THE
RIVERFRONT THAT THEY HAD, THE
PROJECTS, THE I.U. MEDICAL

14
00:01:35.261 --> 00:01:43.236
CENTER AND THE DRIVE-AROUND
HEALTHCARE TALENT THERE. THE
ENTERTAINMENT VENUES THAT JOHN
MENTIONED, AND THE CORPORATE

15
00:01:43.236 --> 00:01:50.410
CITIZENS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE
INVESTING FOR A LONG TIME, NICE
TO SEE THE GROWTH HAPPENING. AND
TODD LECHLEITER RUNNING --

16
00:01:50.410 --> 00:01:56.916
>> THE BASKETBALL PROGRAM.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?
IT ALWAYS HASN'T BEEN THE CASE
DOWN THERE, FROM TIME TO TIME,

17
00:01:56.916 --> 00:02:02.856
MAYBE STRUGGLE GETTING SOME
THINGS GOING, MAYBE IT'S THE
LEADERSHIP, BRINGING PEOPLE
TOGETHER, AND NOW THINGS

18
00:02:02.856 --> 00:02:10.697
BEGINNING TO SNOWBALL.
>> I THINK LEADERSHIP, A SHARED
VISION, IT'S A TRI-STATE AREA
THERE. THEY'VE BECOME A BIT OF A

19
00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:17.470
TALENT HUB THERE. I JUST THINK
THAT SHARED VISION ARE ALL
ROWING IN THE SAME DIRECTION
HELPFUL.

20
00:02:17.470 --> 00:02:22.976
>> A VISION FOR INDIANAPOLIS AND
CENTRAL INDIANA OVER THE YEARS
HAS BEEN SPORTS, THAT CONTINUES
CERTAINLY TO BE THE CASE, AND

21
00:02:22.976 --> 00:02:29.916
WE'RE ABOUT TO IN THE NEXT TWO
YEARS HAVE AN UNPRECEDENTED
STRING OF BIG SPORTING EVENTS,
DEBRA, FROM THE NBA, ALL-STAR

22
00:02:29.916 --> 00:02:38.391
GAME, MEN'S MIENL FOUR, NATIONAL
COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP,
RAISING A LOT OF MONEY, 20
MILLION OF A $25 MILLION GOAL,

23
00:02:38.391 --> 00:02:45.131
WELL UNDER WAY TO MAKE THAT
HAPPEN.
>> THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST
AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKINGS, I THINK

24
00:02:45.131 --> 00:02:52.972
INDIANAPOLIS HAS EVER GOTTEN
INVOLVED IN, INCLUDING SUPER
BOWL. BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY OF
THESE EVENTS, AND THEY'RE ALMOST

25
00:02:52.972 --> 00:03:02.448
TO THEIR GOAL. SO THEY'RE DOING
FINE WITH THE FUNDRAISING.
>> AND FUNDRAISING IMPORTANT,
AND VOLUNTEERS, INDIANAPOLIS HAS

26
00:03:02.448 --> 00:03:09.155
BEEN KNOWN BUILD ITS REPUTATION
ON VOLUNTEERS, THIS IS REALLY
GOING TO PUT IT TO THE TEST.
>> I THINK THIS IS A NO-BRAINER.

27
00:03:09.155 --> 00:03:14.861
IN INDIANAPOLIS, OR CENTRAL
INDIANA GENERALLY, BECAUSE
PEOPLE WILL COME FROM THE
SURROUNDING COUNTIES TO HELP. I

28
00:03:14.861 --> 00:03:21.901
DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE ANY
TROUBLE FINDING 10,000
VOLUNTEERS. I'M EXCITED.
>> ALSO, TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO

29
00:03:21.901 --> 00:03:31.744
BE A BIG IN INDIANA, NOTRE
DAME'S IDEA CENTER REALLY START
OF INCUBATOR ON THE NOTRE DAME
CAMPUS ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK,

30
00:03:31.744 --> 00:03:37.684
DOUBLED IN 2019 THE TOTAL NUMBER
OF STARTUPS IN THE PREVIOUS TWO
YEARS. JOHN, I KNOW YOU'RE
FAMILIAR WITH THE PEOPLE AT THE

31
00:03:37.684 --> 00:03:43.690
IDEA CENTER. NICE TO SEE NOTRE
DAME IN THE TECHNOLOGY GAME AS
WELL.
>> AND THEY'RE DOING A JUST A

32
00:03:43.690 --> 00:03:49.929
WORLD CLASS JOB AT WHAT THEY'RE
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH,
COMMERCIALIZATION, SPINNING UP
STARTUP, TECH AND INNOVATION

33
00:03:49.929 --> 00:03:58.705
COMPANIES. I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK
AT COMPARED WITH WHAT PURDUE
DOES, NOTRE DAME, AND I.U.
RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY CORP, THOSE

34
00:03:58.705 --> 00:04:06.312
ARE PROBABLY THREE AMAZING
ECONOMIC ENGINES FOR THE NEXT
FEW DECADES, AND WHAT NOTRE DAME
IS DOING IS JUST REMARKABLE. SO

35
00:04:06.312 --> 00:04:13.753
WE'RE REALLY BIG FANS OF
INNOVATION PARK. WE'VE DONE
TRIPS UP THERE, THEY'VE BEEN
DOWN TO VISIT US IN LAUNCH

36
00:04:13.753 --> 00:04:18.825
FISHERS, AND WE'RE BIG
SUPPORTERS OF THEIR EFFORT
THERE.
>> TALKING INNOVATION, WE ALSO

37
00:04:18.825 --> 00:04:30.737
EARLIER ON THE SHOW TALKED ABOUT
THE NEW I.U. SUPER COMPUTER, BIG
RED 200 COMPUTER TYING IN WITH
THE I.U. BICENTENNIAL, A BIG

38
00:04:30.737 --> 00:04:36.843
ASSET.
>> REALLY IS. AMAZING IN THE
RELEASE AND DISCUSSION, TALKED
ABOUT THE OLD ONE BEING

39
00:04:36.843 --> 00:04:46.753
OBSOLETE. I THOUGHT, MAN, MY
iPHONE, YOU KNOW, 6, IS PRETTY
COOL. APPARENTLY SUPER COMPUTERS
GO OUT OF STYLE QUICKLY. BIG

40
00:04:46.753 --> 00:04:54.527
RED, BIG RED 2, AND THE
INFRASTRUCTURE THEY'RE BUILDING
FOR THE CYBER FOCUS OF
COMMUNITIES OF TOMORROW, WE'RE

41
00:04:54.527 --> 00:05:01.434
JUST BUILDING COMPETENCY THERE
THAT GOING TO SHOW LEADERSHIP
FOR DECADES INTO THE FUTURE.
>> YEAH. AND I THINK FRED, KAY,

42
00:05:01.434 --> 00:05:11.711
AND BRAD WHEELER AND THEIR TEAMS
DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT HERE,
THEY'VE BEEN ON THE LEADING EDGE
OF SUPER COMPUTING, AND THIS

43
00:05:11.711 --> 00:05:19.585
MOVE TO BIG RED 200, AND THE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REALLY
PUTS THEM ON A BIGGER SCALE
NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.

44
00:05:19.585 --> 00:05:26.092
IT IS GOOD NEWS FOR THE STATE
AND THE UNIVERSITY. BUT AS YOU
THINK ABOUT HOOSIERS IN GENERAL,
WHAT THIS TYPE OF SUPER COMPUTER

45
00:05:26.092 --> 00:05:39.038
AND A.I. MAKES POSSIBLE ARE
PERSONALIZING TREATMENTS FOR
ALZHEIMER'S AND PARKINSON'S, AND
CANCER, A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE

46
00:05:39.038 --> 00:05:45.611
EVERY DAY LIVES OF HOOSIERS.
>> AS WE CONTINUE A LOOK AROUND
THE STATE OF INDIANA,
INDIANAPOLIS INTERNATIONAL

47
00:05:45.611 --> 00:05:53.786
AIRPORT CERTAINLY REPORT A LOT
ON IT BEING NAMED CONTINUALLY
THE BEST AIRPORT IN NORTH
AMERICA. NOT THE ONLY AIRPORT IN

48
00:05:53.786 --> 00:06:00.560
INDIANA, FORT WAYNE
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT REACHED A
BIG MILESTONE LAST YEAR, 10th
CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF GROWTH AT

49
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:06.165
THE AIRPORT. DEBRA, HOW
IMPORTANT IS THAT TO HAVE INDY
WITH NON-STOPS IN THE GROWTH
THERE, BUT TO HAVE THESE

50
00:06:06.165 --> 00:06:11.204
REGIONAL CITIES, AIRPORTS DO
WELL.
>> TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT. NOT
LONG AGO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

51
00:06:11.204 --> 00:06:17.510
SOUTH BEND, AND THE GROWTH AT
THAT AIRPORT. NOW FORT WAYNE
EXPANDING THEIR TERMINAL,
THEY'RE INCREASING THEIR

52
00:06:17.510 --> 00:06:23.850
NON-STOPS. GOING TO BE A REAL
BOON TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
THERE.
>> AND WHAT I MEANT TO SAY WAS

53
00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:28.988
10th CONSECUTIVE YEAR PASSENGER
GROWTH, POSITIVE.
>> AND WHEN YOU THINK OF THE
GROWTH IN NORTHEAST INDIANA, THE

54
00:06:28.988 --> 00:06:34.560
AIRPORT'S A PART OF THAT, A
MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND
ATTRACTION. AND THE GROUP UP
THERE THAT'S WORKING TOWARDS

55
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:42.835
GETTING TO A MILLION PEOPLE IN
POPULATION IN THAT REGION BY
2030, AND THE AIRPORT AS PART OF
THAT HUB, AND ATRADEMARKS IS

56
00:06:42.835 --> 00:06:48.141
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THAT
EFFORT.
>> CAN'T HAVE AN INSIDER SEGMENT
WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT FOOD. AND

57
00:06:48.141 --> 00:06:55.581
COMFORT FOOD COMING TO THE YARD
AT FISHERS DISTRICT, AND JOHN
WECHSLER, YOU'RE VERY ENGAGED
AND INVOLVED IN THAT. TALK ABOUT

58
00:06:55.581 --> 00:07:04.423
NOT ONLY THIS ANNOUNCEMENT THIS
WEEK, BUT THE ART AT FISHERS,
REALLY GETTING CLOSE TO REALLY
OPENING UP ALL THE WAY.

59
00:07:04.423 --> 00:07:17.470
>> I'LL LEAD WITH FRIED CHICKEN.
NATURAL STATE PROVISION IS THE
THIRD NOW OF OUR THREE STALLS,
WE HAVE CARLOS SALAZAR AND

60
00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:27.847
LITTLE DUMPLINGS, AND A KOREAN
DISH. THE THREE WILL FEED
INNOVATION BREWERY, WE THINK
EACH STAND ON THEIR OWN AS

61
00:07:27.847 --> 00:07:36.022
REALLY GREAT CONCEPTS, BUT THEY
COMPLEMENT, EVERYTHING GOES
GREAT WITH SUN KING'S FLAVORS.
AND A FOURTH INSTALLMENT CALLED

62
00:07:36.022 --> 00:07:42.728
THE SIGNATURE TABLE. THAT IS A
CULINARY PERFORMANCE SPACE WHERE
YOU CAN HAVE PRIVATE DINNERS,
GROUP EVENTS, WE'RE GOING TO DO

63
00:07:42.728 --> 00:07:50.436
CLASSES. WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER
A VALENTINE'S DAY DINNER WHERE
YOU CAN COME IN AND ONE PERSON
CN PREPARE DINNER FOR THE OTHER

64
00:07:50.436 --> 00:07:59.745
RIGHT THERE WITH OUR CHEF. IT IS
GOING TO BE A REALLY UNIQUE
CULINARY EXPERIENCE ALL WITHIN
THIS $115 MILLION MASTER PLANNED

65
00:07:59.745 --> 00:08:08.487
DEVELOPMENT. 450 APARTMENTS, 300
HOTEL ROOMS AND 100,000 SQUARE
FEET OF RETAIL WITH TOP GOLF,
IKEA, AND PORE TILL LOW'S ALL

66
00:08:08.487 --> 00:08:15.361
THERE TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO
SEE A REAL FORCE FOR RETAIL AND
CULINARY IN FISHERS.
>> THE NEXT WAVE OF DEVELOPMENT

67
00:08:15.361 --> 00:08:20.700
UP THERE.
>> IT IS, IT IS A DEFINING
DEVELOPMENT. I THINK THE MAYOR
AND HIS TEAM HAVE DONE AN

68
00:08:20.700 --> 00:08:27.206
AMAZING JOB OF MASTER PLANNING
THIS ENTERTAINMENT CORRIDOR. AND
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT -- A
LITTLE BIT OF ROOM IS LEFT

69
00:08:27.206 --> 00:08:35.715
THERE, KIND OF DREAM ABOUT WHAT
MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT, I THINK WE
HVE A REALLY GOOD PLATFORM, AND
IT'S GOING TO BE FUN IN THE

70
00:08:35.715 --> 00:08:40.786
COMING YEARS.
>> HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO HAVE
MORE DIVERSE OFFERINGS FROM A
RESTAURANT AND ENTERTAINMENT

71
00:08:40.786 --> 00:08:46.959
STANDPOINT NOT JUST IN DOWNTOWN
INDIANAPOLIS, BUT IN PLACES LIKE
FISHERS AND OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN
INDY?

72
00:08:46.959 --> 00:08:55.301
>> CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. AND
EVEN EXTENDS TO PLACES LIKE
GREENCASTLE. THERE ARE LOTS OF
PLACES OUT AROUND THE STATE NOW,

73
00:08:55.301 --> 00:09:02.275
FISHERS ISN'T OUT AROUND THE
STATE, IT'S VERY CLOSE IN. BUT
THAT ARE REALLY DIVERSIFYING
OPPORTUNITIES, AND THAT BRINGS

74
00:09:02.275 --> 00:09:08.214
MORE PEOPLE IN. FISHERS IS GOING
TO GET MORE AND MORE YOUNG
PEOPLE IN, WHICH IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT.

75
00:09:08.214 --> 00:09:14.954
>> WE VISITED GREENCASTLE,
BRIDGE'S WINE BAR, GREAT EXAMPLE
OF ACTIVITY AROUND THE STATE.
GREAT INSIDERS PANEL FOR ANOTHER
