The Food in Transit program provides fresh, affordable, and locally-grown produce, provided by Growing Places Indy, to current and future transit riders. “The health and wellness of our community is a major priority, and our team is proud to provide $15,000 in CDBG funds for Food In Transit. This collaborative program with IndyGo and Growing Places Indy is directly in alignment with the Hogsett Administration’s plan to address food issues in Indianapolis,” said Scarlett Martin, director of the Department of Metropolitan Development. The farmstand is made possible by the City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development’s Community Block Development Grant (CDBG) funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
