\n\t\t\t\t\t\tToday, the vitality of Midtown Indianapolis and Butler University are inextricably linked, and over the past decade more than $550 million of combined investment have resulted in a Midtown renaissance that has provided transformational growth for both. As Butler looks forward to another decade of growth and transformation, the Gateway Project provides a vision for another $500 million in investment in projects that serve both Butler AND the community in which it lives.\r\n\r\nThis page includes\u00a0upcoming\u00a0and potential future projects.\u00a0The majority of\u00a0the illustrations below are conceptual and not actual project renderings.
