GSA’s Property Management Office in Indianapolis, IN has been an active member in the Indianapolis Downtown Cleaning Advisory Committee (IDCAC). The IDCAC has enabled GSA and its Federal tenants to form alliances with the local government as well as the private sector.
The IDCAC mission focuses on improving the “mile square” area of downtown Indianapolis. The group has been involved in activities to clean and beautify the area. These activities include:
- Developing a unified landscaping theme for public and private facilities in the downtown area.
- Litter reduction through promotion of anti-litter campaigns tied to special events, such as the NCAA Final Four.
- Development of “Direction Downtown,” an effort to improve directional signage in the area.
- Representation in the Indianapolis Events Advisory Board that notifies tenants and facility managers in downtown buildings of upcoming community events, parades, and festivals.
GSA’s active participation has improved and created relationships with the local government and the private sector. The IDCAC has also created savings for the government through reduced facility operating costs through the anti-litter campaign.
