Hogsett’s Failed City Hall Redevelopment, Foust Supports Curfew, Pike Township LDD

Hogsett Promises Shiny Projects on Campaign Trail; Fails to Deliver in Office

In 2023, Mayor Hogsett pledged to redevelop Old City Hall. Nearly three years later, there is not a crane in the sky or shovel in the ground. This week, the IBJ announced the Old City Hall project was canceled––again. Developers cite extensive delays and financial uncertainty by Hogsett’s admin.

"The Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development has confirmed it pulled the plug on the project following extensive delays and uncertainty within Mayor Joe Hogsett’s administration about whether financing could be secured by August of this year.” 

REMINDER: When Mayor Hogsett knocks on your door and cajoles your vote by promising fancy projects, paved roads, and safe streets––it’s a half-baked election year ploy with little hope of success. Hogsett’s record proves he won’t deliver. 

Philip Foust: Supports Strengthening Indianapolis Youth Curfew 

In a post on social media, Marion County Prosecutor candidate Philip Foust urged the City-County Council to support the IMPD and Chief Terry by strengthening curfew for Indianapolis teens. 

Philip Foust:“Curfews set clear expectations. They create accountability. And they give us a chance to intervene before more serious crimes occur.”
