Building Support
I would like to take this opportunity to reach out to our colleagues, friends, neighbors and everyone to introduce West Indian Association of Indiana, current owners of 3406 Capitol Avenue .
The West Indian Association of Indiana is an Indiana 501 (c) 3 not for profit corporation that serves to bridge the lines of communication between peoples of West Indian descent with our Indiana neighbors. In so doing we try to foster stronger communities while empowering our members to be productive and active participants in our community. The West Indies was a title given to the countries of the Caribbean basin during British colonialization notably remembered for Reggae, Calypso, warm sandy beaches and palm trees. Many West Indians have chosen to make Indiana their home due to the quality of life and opportunity they find here and our goal as an organization is to make our presence a powerfully uplifting one. We have an active membership of more than 100 people and are undergoing growth through recent activity.
Having recently acquired the run down building at 3406 Capital we would like to communicate our intentions of the building and grounds such that we can alleviate any fears and that any mutual interests may be identified early in our planning. The West Indian Association of Indiana has a multipurpose intent for the building and grounds.
We anticipate that these facilities will generate job opportunities, cultural awareness and much needed housing opportunity and is ultimately intended to be self supporting. We are indeed excited about our project and hope that our vision inspires you similarly.
While we have grand plans for the structure and grounds we have limited resources and will spend the next several months stabilizing the building before the winter and securing short and long term financing for our plans. We anticipate that these goals will be phased but also anticipate a brighter community as a result.
We look forward to meeting with you in the near future and sharing ideas on how we can work together to improve our community.
