INDIANAPOLIS — Since 2014, global power leader Cummins has been investing time, talent and resources in Indy’s Near Eastside community to help the community prosper. The Cummins Foundation recently awarded a grant to complete the design of the historic Nowland Avenue Bridge and a section of the Pogue’s Run Trail so that it will be “shovel ready” for quick construction once additional funding for the project is secured. Cummins’ contribution boosts the successful crowdfunding efforts of Pathway Over Pogue’s (POP) which raised $41,000 in contributions from the community, matched with $30,000 from the Central Indiana Community Foundation. Other ROW partners, like Citizens Energy Group, are also making sections of the trail a reality as they restore DigIndy construction areas with finished trail segments.
In addition, ROW was honored to receive Cummins’ Community Impact Award for 2018 during a luncheon on Dec. 3 at their Indianapolis office. The award was in recognition of ROW’s outstanding work on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis, and specifically recognized the streamside restoration project, which was done in conjunction with the Pogue’s Run Waterway Committee, Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Land Stewardship) and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.
