Binford Redevelopment and Growth

Founded in the spring of 2005, Binford Redevelopment and Growth (BRAG) is a group of local citizens whose mission is the commercial and residential enhancement of Binford Boulevard and adjacent neighborhoods.

Binford Boulevard is a gateway to the City of Indianapolis and as such, it deserves particular attention to economic improvement and beautification.

As part of the community, we strive to bring: a wide variety of professional services; convenient, high-quality shopping; opportunities for business growth and development, employment, recreation, and culture; and beautiful green spaces.

Meetings

BRAG board meetings are held monthly at Divine Savior Lutheran Church. Interested parties may attend. Public meetings are held quarterly. Please contact a board member if you have would like to add an item to the agenda.
