    Self Incorporation of Center Grove Area

    White River Citizens United has been a supporter and actively involved in the
    Center Grove community since 2003.  In April of 2007, we sponsored Dr. Paul Friga
    IU Kelly School of Business and a study "CG2020 - A Study on the Incorporation of
    Center Grove".  That study considered various options such as maintain status
    quo, annex with Greenwood, annex with Bargersville, and self incorporation.  While
    each option had unique benefits, the study concluded that incorporation could
    improve the safety and condition of roads, could provide upgrades to important
    services such as police, waste & water, could allow more local control over zoning,
    and lead to more green-space and economic development.

    On September 2008, WRCU hosted a community educational forum on "The Future
    of Our Community - Options and Issues".  In addition to the options considered in
    the IU study, the new state legislation permitting the merger of political sub-divisions
    was also explained.  

    While WRCU has never taken a position on any of these options in the past, we
    now believe that this issue needs to be examined again.  We encourage the C4CG
    group in their self-incorporation study, and endorse effort as a positive step in the
    future growth and development of our local community.
