“Any mayor who has put enough time into the development of our downtown would like to see it completed. So it’s one thing to shovel in a new development. It’s another thing to open the doors and welcome people in and see them enjoy it,” Joe Hogsett said.”

“So that tugs at my heartstrings,” Hogsett said.”

“But ultimately, I’ll make a decision that’s based on whatever legacy I’d like to leave our city and how far along we are in promoting that legacy,” Hogsett said.”

“It’ll be an announcement I’ll think about over the course of this year and hopefully have something to say about towards the end of this year,” Hogsett told reporters on Wednesday.”

“Ultimately, I’ll make a decision that’s based on whatever legacy I’d like to leave our city and how far along we are in promoting that legacy,” Hogsett said.”

“Any mayor, not just me, who has put enough time into the development of our downtown would like to see it completed,” Hogsett added.”

“I’m halfway through my third term, so I would let that speak for itself,” he said.”

“Hogsett said through a spokesperson that he selected the members after an 'extensive review process.'”

“He said the most important factor in his decision to pick them was their focus on 'the best interest of all the families and children living in the Indianapolis Public Schools boundary, regardless of the type of public school those families choose.'”

“That's really where you learn,”
