Welcome to SustainIndy!​​​​​​​
Created in 2008 by Mayor Greg Ballard, the City of Indianapolis’ Office of Sustainability is making the City one of the most sustainable and livable cities in the Midwest.
 
Since its creation, the Office has led this effort by collaborating to achieve community-defined goals and establishing public-private partnerships to create a more sustainable Indianapolis.
 
What is Sustainability?
 
A sustainable community is one that is built around a strong economy, a healthy environment and an exceptional quality of life. 
 
What's New?
