• service(consuming over 100,000 gallons per month),even though none of the schools are located within the Tax Allocation Areas. The MRC's policy of using TIP revenues to reduce monthly sewer bills,therefore,results in a substantial reduction in the operating costs of schools. 1'ransporiation Inf astmeture&Gateway Enhancements The MRC has often advocated projects to improve local transportation infrastructure, especially with regard to SR67,which constitutes Mooresville's primary business corridor. The MRC is considering adding"gateway"enhancements which would serve to visually identify Mooresville to vehicles and visitors along SR67. This interest in "gateway"identification is consistent with previous successes of other communities which have successfully reinforced community identity with"gateway"identification, including: • The Tony Hulman Memorial Way(Speedway,IN); • Cannel Arts&Design District(Carmel,IN); • Keystone Parkway Enhancement(Carmel,IN); • 165 Bridge enhancement(Columbus,IN); • SR13 Corridor improvements(Mooresville,IN); • Emerson Avenue Improvements(Beech Grove,IN); • Super Bowl Village Georgia Street Enhancements(Indianapolis,IN); • Monument Circle Improvements(Indianapolis,IN); • Cultural Trail&Mass Ave Corridor Enhancements(Indianapolis, IN); • And others which have investigated or are investigating the creation of community gateways. The purpose of these`gateways' is to create a point of visual architectural interest which identifies the community,and which visually designates the points at which the community is entered and exited. These`gateways'are generally considered to give communities a specific and distinct identity which enhances the public image of the community. Such public image enhancements contribute to economic development success in both expansion of existing industries and the attraction of new industries. The MRC is considering potential`gateway'enhancements for SR67 as the main commercial/industrial corridor of Mooresville. This ED Project would require:a partnership with INDOT to include the`gateway'enhancements'as part of future upgrades to SR67. In addition to`gateway' considerations,the MRC seeks to consider projects on `secondary' corridors serving the ED/RD Areas as opportunities to increase/enhance transportation service. These`secondary' corridors are identified as follows: • Samuel Moore/Main Street(SR67 to Indiana), • Bridge Street(between SR67 and Moore/Main), • SR 42 from SR67 to Indiana,and • Indiana Street from SR67 to Main Street. • (The portion of 5R267 within the RD Area,and serving to connect the RD Area with 1-70) 7 Mooresville Economic Development&Redevelopment Plans:2012 Amendment (draft,lune 27,2012)
