An Introduction to WRCU












    Who Are We?

    White River Citizens United is an alliance of White River Township neighborhood
    associations and individuals .(please refer to amendment # 2 of the by-laws for information
    about individual memberships)

    Our Mission:

     We are dedicated to engaging with State, County and City planning and governance
    bodies to:

  • Advocate for comprehensive land use planning to manage growth.
  • Assist governmental units in preparation and enforcement of land use plans.
  • Lobby for necessary infrastructure to be in place in advance of further commercial
    and residential growth in the township.
  • Represent the interests of township residents in preserving and enhancing their
    quality of life,
  • Protect and enhance property values, public safety, and the creation of recreational
    space.

    Originally organized to fight the various building proposals by Wal-Mart, we are now
    engaged on several other fronts. Primary among these is working with state and city
    organizations regarding the State Road 135 improvements south of Smith Valley Road.
    Our recommendations can be found here.

    White River Citizens United is focusing on aspects of smart growth within White River
    Township. Ways that we are doing this include:

  • Working at the city (Greenwood and Bargersville) and county levels for updated
    comprehensive plans that reflect the rapid growth of the area
  • Suggesting ways to improve local roads
  • Lobbying for better parks and green space
  • Continuing and improving communications with local officials
