Friends, neighbors, and partner organizations braved the cold on March 10 to celebrate the grand opening of Parkside at Tarkington. The new affordable housing development, located at 3901 N. Meridian Street, is a joint initiative of Midtown Indy and Flaherty & Collins Properties.
"This is one project, but we know the need is much much greater," said Michael McKillip, executive director of Midtown Indy. "Thirty-one percent of households within Midtown are housing cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing."
