00:00:05.038 --> 00:00:06.806
>> SITTING IN THE SHADOW OF

00:00:06.873 --> 00:00:08.608
ELANCO'S GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS, A

00:00:08.675 --> 00:00:09.676
NEIGHBORHOOD CALLED THE VALLEY,

00:00:09.743 --> 00:00:14.814
NAMED AFTER THE GREAT FLOOD OF

00:00:14.881 --> 00:00:15.582
1913.

00:00:15.648 --> 00:00:16.182
>> ELANCO'S MOVE TO THE NEAR

00:00:16.249 --> 00:00:16.850
WEST SIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS WILL

00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:18.885
NO DOUBT BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO

00:00:18.952 --> 00:00:20.019
WHAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN ONE

00:00:20.086 --> 00:00:22.922
OF THE MOST INDUSTRIALIZED AREAS

00:00:22.989 --> 00:00:24.357
OF THE CITY. A ONCE IN A

00:00:24.424 --> 00:00:25.759
LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH

00:00:25.825 --> 00:00:26.960
AND DEVELOPMENT. MARY-RACHEL

00:00:27.026 --> 00:00:30.063
REDMAN HIT THE STREETS IN "THE

00:00:30.130 --> 00:00:31.931
VALLEY" TO GET THE PULSE OF THE

00:00:31.998 --> 00:00:34.067
PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE---AND

00:00:34.134 --> 00:00:36.703
THEIR HOPES FOR THE FUTURE.

00:00:36.770 --> 00:00:39.839
>> FOR 80 YEARS, THE GM STAMPING

00:00:39.906 --> 00:00:41.474
PLANT STOOD ON THE WEST BANKS OF

00:00:41.541 --> 00:00:43.910
THE WHITE RIVER, THE EPICENTER

00:00:43.977 --> 00:00:44.677
FOR JOBS.

00:00:44.744 --> 00:00:49.182
IN ITS HEYDAY, CLOSE TO 5600

00:00:49.249 --> 00:00:51.184
PEOPLE, MANY USING THESE STEPS,

00:00:51.251 --> 00:00:52.952
WALKED IN HERE EVERY DAY MAKING

00:00:53.019 --> 00:00:55.755
A LIVING CRANKING OUT AUTO PARTS

00:00:55.822 --> 00:00:57.724
FOR GM VEHICLES.

00:00:57.791 --> 00:00:59.526
BUT TIMES AND MANUFACTURING

00:00:59.592 --> 00:01:03.196
CHANGED, BY 2011, WHEN THE PLANT

00:01:03.263 --> 00:01:05.231
CLOSED, ONLY 650 PEOPLE WORKED

00:01:05.298 --> 00:01:05.465
THERE.

00:01:05.532 --> 00:01:08.301
>> THIS IS ALL THE REMAINS OF

00:01:08.368 --> 00:01:09.569
THE OLD GM STAMPING PLANT,

00:01:09.636 --> 00:01:11.971
RUSTED REMNANTS LIKE THIS

00:01:12.038 --> 00:01:15.475
LITERALLY PIECES OF A BYGONE

00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:17.677
ERA, THIS PROJECT COULD REVERSE

00:01:17.744 --> 00:01:21.614
DECADES OF DECAY.

00:01:21.681 --> 00:01:23.149
BUSINESSES LIKE THIS MEXICAN

00:01:23.216 --> 00:01:25.185
MARKET AND RESTAURANT, HOPING

00:01:25.251 --> 00:01:26.486
ELANCO'S NEW CAMPUS WILL PUMP

00:01:26.553 --> 00:01:30.924
NEW LIFE INTO THE AREA.

00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:33.626
>> I HOPE THEY CAN GET IN MORE

00:01:33.693 --> 00:01:34.194
CUSTOMERS.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:35.562
IT IS REALLY A GOOD THING.

00:01:35.628 --> 00:01:37.897
>> WE'RE GOING TO BRING NOT JUST

00:01:37.964 --> 00:01:39.833
AN OFFICE AND A CAMPUS, BUT

00:01:39.899 --> 00:01:41.367
WE'RE GOING TO BRING FAMILIES

00:01:41.434 --> 00:01:43.069
HERE, AND WHETHER IT'S HELPING

00:01:43.136 --> 00:01:44.871
WITH THINGS IN THE AREA, WE'VE

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:48.508
GOT BIG HUNGER CAUSES, THERAPY

00:01:48.575 --> 00:01:49.943
DOGS, BEING ABLE TO BE PART OF

00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:52.011
THE WEST SIDE FROM LIVING HERE

00:01:52.078 --> 00:01:53.213
TO BEING INVOLVED IN THE

00:01:53.279 --> 00:01:54.981
COMMUNITY, TO ENGAGING WITH OUR

00:01:55.048 --> 00:01:56.216
CITIZENS THAT ARE AROUND HERE

00:01:56.282 --> 00:01:58.985
IS, TO ME, IT'S EXCITING.

00:01:59.052 --> 00:02:01.588
>> ELANCO'S PLAN INCLUDES MORE

00:02:01.654 --> 00:02:02.989
THAN A SPARKLING NEW BUILDING

00:02:03.056 --> 00:02:03.957
THAT WILL CHANGE THE

00:02:04.023 --> 00:02:04.924
INDIANAPOLIS SKYLINE.

00:02:04.991 --> 00:02:07.460
ALSO IN THE WORKS, MORE TREES,

00:02:07.527 --> 00:02:09.662
TRAILS, AND A BRAND-NEW BRIDGE

00:02:09.729 --> 00:02:11.364
CONNECTING THE WEST SIDE TO THE

00:02:11.431 --> 00:02:13.299
ZOO, WHITE RIVER STATE PARK, AND

00:02:13.366 --> 00:02:14.734
DOWNTOWN INDY.

00:02:14.801 --> 00:02:17.570
>> I SEE 15 YEARS FROM NOW THAT

00:02:17.637 --> 00:02:19.973
WE FIND THIS TO BE NOT ONLY OUR

00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.608
NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT OUR COMMUNITY,

00:02:21.674 --> 00:02:23.576
AND IT'S BLENDED TOGETHER, AND

00:02:23.643 --> 00:02:25.578
WE'RE JUST PART OF THE

00:02:25.645 --> 00:02:26.980
LANDSCAPE, AND THE SKYLINE OF

00:02:27.046 --> 00:02:29.048
THE WEST SIDE, THE VALLEY.

00:02:29.115 --> 00:02:31.751
AND THE VALLEY BEING KNOWN MORE,

00:02:31.818 --> 00:02:33.119
I THINK BRINGING BACK A LOT OF

00:02:33.186 --> 00:02:34.787
THE HISTORY AND THE LEGACY OF

00:02:34.854 --> 00:02:36.723
THE VALLEY, TO ME.

00:02:36.789 --> 00:02:38.291
THERE IS AMAZING COMMUNITIES AND

00:02:38.358 --> 00:02:38.525
PEOPLE.

00:02:38.591 --> 00:02:39.826
THE WEST SIDE HAS A LITTLE BIT

00:02:39.893 --> 00:02:41.628
OF ITS OWN CULTURE.

00:02:41.694 --> 00:02:43.630
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

00:02:43.696 --> 00:02:44.697
>> A NEW DAY FOR ELANCO, FOR
