- An Introduction-Who Are We?
- White River Citizens United is an alliance of White River Township neighborhood associations and individuals. (please refer to the by-laws for information about memberships)
Our Mission:
We are dedicated to engaging with State, County and City planning and governance bodies to:
- Advocate for comprehensive land use planning to manage growth.
- Assist governmental units in preparation and enforcement of land use plans.
- Lobby for necessary infrastructure to be in place in advance of further commercial and residential growth in the township.
- Represent the interests of township residents in preserving and enhancing their quality of life,
- Protect and enhance property values, public safety, and the creation of recreational space.
Originally organized to fight the various building proposals by Wal-Mart, we are now engaged on several other fronts.
- We worked with state and city organizations regarding the State Road 135 improvements south of Smith Valley Road. Our recommendations can be found here.
White River Citizens United is focusing on aspects of smart growth within White River Township. Ways that we are doing this include:
- Working at the city (Greenwood and Bargersville) and county levels for updated comprehensive plans that reflect the rapid growth of the area
- Suggesting ways to improve local roads
- Lobbying for better parks and green space
- Continuing and improving communications with local officials
