 OCRA wants to highlight your DDW & October events!
We are starting the countdown to our favorite week of the year- Downtown Development Week! And as a part of our celebration, we want to celebrate alongside you and help promote all of your planned events, Whether these activities are taking place special for DDW or not, we want it to be a special time for all Hoosiers to visit their downtowns and commercial cores. It’s not too late to plan an event if you haven’t already!
Click this link and complete the form for each planned event. If you know of other organizations holding events during that time, please pass the link to them, as well.
OCRA will compile all of the events into an interactive map, and promote them daily through social media. The map will be located on our DDW website and available once we start receiving events.
As you all may recall, Mary Shaw has officially retired. We are excited to announce Jackie Swihart is taking over the Indiana Main Street and Historic Renovation Grant programs. Most recently, Jackie was an intern with the Indiana Humanities and completed her Master's in Public History. You can reach her at JSwihart@ocra.IN.gov with any questions.

The Arts in the Parks and Historic Sites grant opportunity is a great chance for you to reach a new audience and reconnect with your own creativity in Indiana's most peaceful settings. To get funded, the proposed project must be connected to the participating site and provide a high quality experience for visitors. This grant is available to individual artists, nonprofit organizations, and municipalities.
2019 application deadlines:
The Indiana Bond Bank will host a free educational seminar to help units of government protect themselves from fraud.
The Government Fraud Awareness Seminar is scheduled from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 17 in the Regions Tower in downtown Indianapolis. It features an array of speakers and experts including Indiana Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, IBB executive director Mark Wuellner, and Regions corporate security member Neil M. Taylor and payments fraud product manager Randy C. Wilborn.
With the increasing trend of fraudulent attempts to gain access to large and small governmental units’ databases, bank accounts, employee information, etc., the program can help local units of government better protect themselves from internal and external fraud.
Registration is now open, but is limited to one guest per state of Indiana agency. Guests are asked to RSVP by Sept. 5 to joyce.moore@regions.com.
