The mission of the Council is to have a positive, lasting impact on the quality of life in Irvington, and thus Greater Indianapolis as a whole. Through active partnerships with other civic groups, businesses, schools, libraries, neighbors and government, our intent is to make a sustained and positive impact upon the stability and growth of the neighborhood. We will seek this through our support of public art and entertainment (e.g., music, film, festivals); through an active interest in local environmental concerns (e.g., waterways, green space); and other projects and partnerships that protect property values, encourage business and foster pride in our community.
