MAP Reading

Muncie Action Plan January Newsletter 2016Loading MAP 3.0Aimee Fant, MAP Coordinator

To display the good news and hard work happening around the

community of Muncie, MAP hosted a bus tour of Muncie, as its

report to the community on May 6. As outlined in MAP's May Newsletter, the bus tour celebrated the many local achievements that align with MAP objectives. MAP’s 90-minute tour departed from Minnetrista at 6:00 p.m. MITS provided two 35-seat buses for the tour which were filled to capacity. MAP’s Co-Chairs George Branam and Donna Browne used a script to provide commentary about the 25 locations featured on the tour. Special speakers, Susan Fisher (Martin Luther King Dream Team), Jud Fisher (Ball Brothers Foundation), and Jim Lowe (Ball State) boarded the bus at the Heekin Park Walk of Fame, Ross Center, and the BSU Geothermal North facility, respectively to give a brief presentation of key facts about their locations.

The bus tour highlighted new business and attractive property

development- consistent with MAP’s Task Force 4’s initiative to

help promote appealing city and business infrastructure to ultimately improve Muncie’s “quality of place”. Muncie’s parks, the newly renovated

Charles W. Brown Planetarium, the Rinard Orchid Conservatory, Shafer Tower, Dick’s Sporting Goods, McAlister’s Deli, Michaels, Motivate our

Minds, the Boys and Girls Club, the Unity Center, the Innovation Connector and Ball family homes were among the more than 30 spots visited,

but so were blighted and vacant properties, as a reminder there is still work to be done and for bus tour participants to imagine the possibilities

of what comes next. In 2015, MAP has strengthened and expanded its objectives with community partners; Habitat for Humanity, Vectren,

Muncie Redevelopment Commission, Neighborhood Investment Committee, among many others. Co-Founder of MAP Dr. George Branam

refers to MAP's partnership with the City of Muncie and Ball State University as the “Trifecta of our community.”

Linda Gregory, MAP’s Treasurer describes MAP’s role as a “silent partner, but loud advocate” in

the quest toward quality of place.

Ball State University and MAP— Immersed in Muncie

BSU’s Office of Community Engagement (formerly known as Building Better Communities) contin-

ues to launch a growing number of Immersive Learning programs that directly benefit our community and each of MAP’s five Task Forces-

particularly MAPTF2. Professor Lisa Dunaway’s Urban Planning students have developed neighborhood plans in 2015 for South Central,

Blaine/Southeast and Industry neighborhoods; complete with data collection, website and logo creation. MAP will be partnering with other

faculty and the following Immersive Learning projects in the Spring/Fall of 2016:

· Ray Montagno: “Assessing Business Success and Stability in Distressed Neighborhoods”· Bo Chang: “Big Read”· Susan Lankford: “Citywide Preservation Plan for Muncie”· Lisa Dunaway: “Riverside Normal Neighborhood Action Plan” and “Thomas Park/South-Central Energy Plan”

· Thomas Park/Avondale Neighborhood Action Plan

· Public Safety – Survey, Interviews, and Focus Groups

· ecoREHAB – 1215 W. 10th St. rehab

· In further celebration of Muncie’s Sesquicentennial another unique partnership formed and resulted in the following video; produced courtesy

of Ball State University’s Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts (IDIA) Lab:

"The history of Muncie gets Garfield treatment thanks to Ball State University’s IDIA Lab in partnership with Muncie officials and Paws, Inc. has created a special video in honor of the city’s sesquicentennial celebration. Jim Davis’ Garfield virtually hosts the montage, which features historical imagery and clips of Muncie mentions in pop culture. “We wanted to create something fun and tongue-in-cheek but also positive and optimistic about the city’s future,” said John Fillwalk, director of IDIA and senior director of the university’s Hybrid Design Technologies initiative. The video premiered during an Oct. 1 ArtsWalk event sponsored by DWNTWN, Muncie’s downtown development campaign. “John and his team’s creative ability to take an idea from conception to completion has been awesome,” said Cheryl Crowder, events coordinator for DWNTWN. “It was great working with him on this project.” Other community partners of the sesquicentennial video include the Delaware County Historical Society, Muncie Arts and Culture Council, Center for Middletown Studies and Ball State University Libraries."

MAKERS' HUB MAKING ITS WAY IN MUNCIE

Sustainable Muncie collaborators have been asking Muncie's neighbors what it would take to change the game in their neighborhoods and in Muncie. Sustainable Muncie Executive Director John Fallon and Scott Truex met with residents of Gilbert-Goldsmith neighborhood, Having just received a revolving loan and vote of confidence in the form of $1 million in EDIT funds from the City of Muncie, Muncie's Maker Hub "Gearbox" is a go. 2015 to turn the former Midwest Towel/Cintas industrial laundry downtown into GearBox: Muncie, a makers hub aimed at fostering local businesses, artists and artisans.

"According to Rutger's University, Muncie is the third poorest city in Indiana and

25% of Muncie's children are living in poverty; 80% of those children are not reading

at grade level."- Jenni Marsh-MAP Board member and CEO of the United Way

of Delaware County.

These profound learning and resource gaps within our community are precisely why

Muncie needs MAP Task Force 1's BY5. BY5 has increased resources and

programs to under-served families by over 60% and increased Pre-K enrollment by

over 200% since 2012.

Led by Carrie Bale and Tom Kinghorn, BY5’s mission directs resources devoted to

lifting up young children and their families; infancy to age 5, with a special focus of

helping under-served families gain access to tools which will increase

literacy, health and economic outcomes. In 2015, the Nurse Family Partnership –

NFP began to pair nurses with expectant mothers in Delaware County before their

28th week of pregnancy to provide support services; including home visits

throughout the pregnancy until the child is two years old.

Information regarding BY5's 2016 Summit is forthcoming. Please stay tuned.

Little Free Libraries Making a Big Difference

Program Manager - Building Better Neighborhoods -

Office of Community Engagement - Ball State University

MAP Task Force 1

BY5 — Linking Learning, Health and Prosperity

On November 5th the BY5 Little Free Library Initiative cele-brated the “birth” of its LFL network with cupcakes, party hats, and rousing renditions of Happy Birthday. Little Free Libraries provide access to books and encourage a love of reading.

Anyone visiting a Little Free Library may take a book to enjoy or leave a book for others to read. The BY5 Little Free Library Task Force is under the Encouraging Supporting Communities Initiative that works with individual communities and neighborhoods within Delaware County to help them accept responsibility, embrace BY5 goals, and take actions towards supporting families and children. The Task Force has put together a resource packet that includes an application, tips for builders, local regulations and how to connect with the worldwide movement. As the network continues to grow, locations of the local Little Free Libraries can be found on the BY5 website. To access the information packet and to view the map, please visit the BY5 website http://www.muncieby5.org/encourage-supportive-communities/.

MAP Task Force 2

Fostering Collaboration

From the desk of Ginny Nilles-

MAPTF2 Chair:

One of the most exciting

developments in 2015 for Task

Force 2 is the creation of the

“Neighborhood Project Fund”-

(generously funded by the Ball

Broth-ers Foundation). Seed money

is available to support start-up of

new neighborhood associations or

projects initiated and approved by

neighborhood associations. It

removes the financial barriers that

neighbors sometimes face when

starting an association.

$250 may be requested for a start-

up or project

Short application form and follow

up report required

Neighborhoods need to provide By

-Laws or Articles of Organization

Copies of last two bank statements

Email: Ginny Nilles (gnilles@munpl.org) or Jim Wingate (jwingate@midwestmetal.com)

The first grant went to Pettigrew

Acres! They were able to purchase

trees for a beautification project.

Ideas for projects might include

community gardens, neighborhood

park beautification, chili supper start-

up event and more. Imagination

coupled with the support of your

neighborhood association board is all

that is needed to get started. Don’t

delay; let’s get YOUR neighborhood

projects funded and underway,

Muncie!

The mission of MAP

Task Force 2 is to

help grow strong neighborhoods by

forming supportive association

networks within Muncie’s

neighborhoods. Co -Chairs Jim

Wingate and Ginny Nilles, Heather

Williams, Program Manager for

Building Better Neigh-borhoods,

Aimee Fant (MAP Coordinator and

Neighborhood Organizer) and

Isabelle Sowers- MAP Volunteer Coordinator- have formed over 27

active neighborhood associations and

that list is growing.

Muncie’s Whitely Neighborhood Association

Through years of hard word, determination and

leadership, Cornelius and Mary Dollison have

grown Whitely’s Neighborhood Association,

exponentially; it is an independent 501c3

organization and often attracts over 80 neighborhood members to monthly meetings.

Whitely is a pinnacle model of community and

inspiring change. Cornelius and Mary have

handed the Whitely leadership baton to new

President, Frank Scott.

Muncie Pride and MAP

Neighborhoods on a T-Shirt

Sporting a design created by Delaware County GIS Coordinator Kyle

Johnson for MAP TF2, TF2 t-shirts are creating a lot of conversation

and until now, were not easily available. Now, the shirts are available

at Refresh Muncie- Downtown! Visit MAP TF2’s Facebook page: /

MAPNeighborhoods or

Twitter: @MAPTF2 for more information.

The t-shirt incorporates the names of Muncie neighborhoods and

their boundaries into a graphic map showing the city limits, major

streets, and White River. Robinwood Neighborhood Association

The Idea Behind I.D.E.A.

Mitch Isaacs - Executive Director- Shafer

Leadership Academy

Shafer Leadership Academy has been working

with Task Force 2 to build interpersonal and

leadership skills within neighborhood

associations’ leaders over 2014 and 2015;

Tisha Gier-hart has conducted workshops with

the Neighborhood President’s Council and to

provide level of tools and resources available to

help move neighborhoods toward self-

sufficiency, the “Idea Conference” was born.;

Intentional Development and Education for

Association Members “The Muncie Action

Plan, Shafer Leadership Academy and Ball State's Building Better Neighborhoods are

partnering with the City of Muncie and Vectren

Foundation to host a conference to support the

development of neighborhood leaders. The

Neighborhood I.D.E.A. Conference is

scheduled for March 5th at Ball State’s Student

Center. Over 100 of Muncie’s most active local

leaders will gather to listen, learn and meet like-

minded individuals to share ideas and best

practices. Each neighborhood will be asked to

select five people to represent their association

at the conference.

The 150-room Courtyard Muncie Marriott at Horizon Convention

Center in Muncie, Ind. will open with a ribbon cutting on Dec. 22.

MAP congratulates all who made this possible.

Task Force 4 Spotlight

Courtyard Muncie Marriott Leaps Ahead for Special Needs Workforce

Working with the City of Muncie, Muncie Redevelopment Commission, Historic Preservation and a wide variety of other partners, Task Force 4’s charge to

make Muncie resilient by helping to contribute to the formation of the Artswalk, to form partnerships that make structures like Canan Commons, the Cultur-

al Trail and other infrastructure improvements possible, has created

prime conditions for Downtown Development partners to reinvent

the wheel. Together with the Arc of Indiana, Muncie’s collaborative

effort has attracted a one of a kind workforce training facility for the

developmentally disabled in the field of Hospitality. A fully-

functioning teaching hotel designed to provide job training and

employment for people with disabilities has now opened its

doors to the public.

MAP Task Force 4 Chair Betty Brewer, CEO- Minnetrista reports the completion of the redesign of the Appeal to the Great Spirit City Park. Its members facilitated the work between the city and Community Enhancement Project.

Task Force 4 members, in alignment with TF 3 (Strengthening Pride & Image) also helped to facilitate the inaugural Mayor’s Arts Awards event as part of Muncie’s Bicentennial. The event was produced by the Muncie Arts & Culture Council along with the City of Muncie and will be a biennial program.

Our group also monitored the enforcement of corridor development standards, addressing Board of Public Works when necessary to express MAP’s interest in maintaining these new standards.

The Image Committee (comprised of expert

communications leaders from within MAP, the

Delaware County Chamber of Commerce,

Mymuncie.org, Ball State, and the Muncie Visi-

tor’s Bureau) is in full-swing in planning for 2016

developing new and exciting

projects.

We’ve again partnered with

the Cardinal Communications

team to help us develop additional content,

manage social media calendars, and help in

execution on the Facebook fan page. Speaking

of Facebook, we are nearing 1,000 likes and

growing at a rate of just under 15% every

month. We’ve changed our messaging to not

only highlight volunteers but people and places

that make our community great.

2016 we are expanding content to assist com-

panies with materials for potential employees

looking to relocate to Muncie or Delaware

County. It’s a different focus for us and will fit

nicely with an updated website highlighting

quality of life, additional content and videos

about Muncie.

We have a “special ops” group forming that are taking on different goals to move projects for-ward and to keep initiatives fresh and opening communications between organizations. It’s not rocket-surgery, but it’s the little things.

Building a Better Muncie Brand - by Gary Thomas

little things.” - Gary Thomas

MAP, the Facing Project and R.A.C.E Join

Forces to Create “Facing Racism”

by Dr. Jay Zimmerman Ph.D. - Psychologist and Emeritus Professor

of Psychology; Ball State University

Facing Racism began at a series

of meetings at the Muncie Public

Library (MPL), where a diverse

group of people from the

community came together at the

invitation of the Director, Ginny

Nilles to discuss a Community

Read. A Community Read would

mean that a book is chosen to be

read and discussed throughout the

community. The books discussed

all had to do with issues of race

and racism. Those of us on the

committee from the group

R.A.C.E.

(Reconciliation Achieved through

Community Engagement)

suggested that instead we create

a Facing Project focused on

issues of race and racism in

Delaware County. After talking

with the founders of the Facing

Project, Facing Racism was born.

Ginny Nilles, MPL, and Yvonne

Thompson, Director of the Muncie

Human Rights Commission

provided the initial funding to

enable the project to move

forward. Mayor Dennis Tyler was

an early contributor to the project.

The Facing Project is an

international storytelling project

about issues important to

individuals and their communities.

Kelsey Timmerman and J.R.

Jamison-Pippin from Muncie

started the Facing Project. The

project brings together writers and

storytellers, those with stories

about a particular issue, and

culminates in a book and a

community event(s) to bring the

stories to the public to enhance

awareness, create dialogue, and

impact change.

Facing Racism is a project of the

group R.A.C.E started by Jason

Donati and Yvonne Thompson

and is dedicated to respectful

dialogue and moving the

community forward. Jay

Zimmerman and Jason Donati,

working collaboratively with a

team of organizers, are

coordinating the Facing Racism

Project. Tania Said has been in

charge of soliciting and matching

writers and storytellers. Daniel

Stallings is focused on fundraising.

Laura Williamson, from Civic

Theatre (a partner in the project)

will work with actors to make the

stories come to life. Jamie Reece

is coordinating a team of editors.

Others with various roles on the

team are Lynne Stallings, Maude

Jennings, Ruby Cain, Renae

Mayes, Joshua Hollowell,

Kimberly Hamilton, Kevin Nolan

and Kelby Stallings

The group felt that stories emerg-

ing from members of our own

community would be a powerful

tool to create dialogue and impact

change throughout the community.

Facing Racism will explore the

impact of racism and the meaning

of race in people’s lives in

Delaware County. Engaging with

personal stories and evocative

theater performances as well as

dialogue, we will explore both the

negative impact racism has had in

people’s lives and the positive

responses to dealing with racism.

Stories and programs will expose

the harmful nature of structural or

institutional racism, and reveal the

ways in which our community can

triumph over ignorance and act for

positive social change. Facing

Racism will educate, inform, and

encourage ongoing dialogue to

mobilize community action. The

project has recruited nearly 40

writers and 40 storytellers. The

project will culminate in the

publication of a book of stories as

well as a presentation and a

performance at the Muncie Civic

Theatre on Saturday, November

12, 2016 followed by ongoing

performances throughout Muncie

and Delaware County that we

hope will spur further dialogue.

In need of a fiscal agent that was

a not for profit 501c3 organization,

the project team considered nu-

merous possibilities and finally

decided to request the Muncie

Action Plan (MAP) be our agent

given its broad impact on the com-

munity and the quality of its Board

of Directors. We are proud and

pleased that they responded

positively and will be a partner in

this important endeavor. The

organizing team has been working

hard on making this project a

success and look forward to

bringing it to the community in the

Fall of 2016.

Task Force 5 Spotlight Scout Muncie and Bike Muncie are Born

by Kyle Johnson Kyle Johnson - GIS Coordinator, Delaware County

GIS & Data Projects In 2015, the GIS Department tackled several projects to help gather valuable data about our community and make it available to those who could put it to use. Early in 2015, GIS Department staff attended a Neighborhood Presidents meet-ing and gave a presentation about what the GIS Department provides in terms of applications and services. Through that conversation, the "Muncie GIS Resources Map for Muncie Neighborhoods" was created bit.ly/MuncieNeighborhoodGIS. This interactive map provides a single application to view various GIS data sets that are useful for neighborhoods planning initiatives. Map data includes: neighborhood boundaries, bike-pedestrian infrastructure, historic districts, past tax sale properties, unsafe building hearing authority cases, zoning, properties with homestead exemptions (owner-occupied), crime report density, and more. In 2016, we would like to add additional data

and promote the use of the application through MAP and

provide training for users that could benefit from assistance. Also this year the Scout-Muncie project was born scout-muncie.wordpress.com. In conjunction with the Muncie Historic Preservation Com-mission, this Initiative was created as a volunteer-based inventory of all prop-erties in Muncie in order to get an overall picture of Historic structures in Muncie.

The Ball Brothers Foundation provided seed funding through their rapid grant to help with costs of running the volunteer-based program. The inventory was collected using a free smartphone appli-cation and the GIS Department's online GIS system. Through September and October volunteers, Commission Members and Ball State Students from the Urban Planning Department Neighbor-hood, Landscape Architecture and Historic Preservation Studios were able to collect data on 40% of Muncie's 30,000+ properties. The in-progress map can be viewed at the project website, and for GIS users, the raw GIS data can be downloaded from Delaware County's Open Data site at getdata-1.delcogis.opendata.arcgis.com. We are working to create a plan to complete this inven-tory in 2016 and distribute the data and maps and provide training to all

agencies, departments and organizations that can utilize it (including adding the data to the Neighborhood Map). MAP could assist this project by helping to acquire funding to employ student volunteers to help complete the study.

Bicycle Projects The Muncie Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee has kicked it into high gear in 2015 and built some great momentum for bicycle advocacy in our community. After successfully updating the nearly 50 year old bicycle code at the beginning of the year and receiving an honorable mention for our Bicycle Friendly Community Application in February, we have concentrated on education and outreach efforts.

BikeMuncie was created as the social media and education arm of the committee (bikemuncie.org). A fun & colorful brochure was provided to all elementary school kids before the school year ended in the spring that highlighted bicycle safety tips and the benefits of cycling. We held a "Bike to work with the Mayor" event in May (Bike Month) and offered a historical bike tour in July in coordination with the Historic Preservation Commission. Bike Muncie also hosted Bicycle Indiana's "Active Transportation" seminar as part of the Indiana Metropolitan Planning Organization Conference, as well as leading a cycling tour of Muncie for conference participants. We have also created a Bicycle-Friendly Business Program that we will be implementing in 2016 that provides discounts for cyclists that ride to participating businesses. A BikeMuncie Map will be printed and distributed in early 2016, providing residents and visitors with the best routes to navigate our city on a bike. BikeMuncie received a grant from the Ball Brothers Foundation for a large cargo bike that will be converted into a mobile bicycle advocacy station and pedaled to local events to provide educational materials, kids activities, bike safety checks and skills courses. You can learn more about "Big Blue" at bikemuncie.org and click on "The Big Blue Bike". In 2016, look for a re-imagined of the Cardinal Greatway(Greenway) Tour" that will take more of an "All-Muncie" bicycle festival approach to the event!

In off-road cycling news, the Prairie Creek Trail Project (PrairieCreekTrails.org) completed it's first loop of single-track hiking and biking trails. This is in addition to the 1 mile long crushed gravel path that connects to the Cardinal Greenway. There is currently 1.5 miles of trails to ride, with another 4 miles planned for completion in 2016/2017. The trail group also hosted a 2-day International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Trail Care Workshop that provided presentation to elected officials, land managers and stakeholders on the economic and health benefits of having quality trail opportunities, as well as an all day sustainable trail building workshop that was attended by 23 vol-unteers. The trail group is working to become a chapter of IMBA in order to be able to apply for future funding.
