Economic ImpactA prime example where economic impact has been positive is along the Monon Trail in Indianapolis. A study showed homes within a half-mile of the Monon Trail command a sales premium of $13,059. If this premium is applied to all 8,862 homes within this distance of the trail, then the total increase in property values in Marion County is $115.7 million.
