New health center signifies growth in neighborhood

Devington, 20 minutes from Indianapolis, offers its residents proximity to the green oasis of Fort Harrison Park, the local eats of Massachusetts Avenue and the Indiana State Fair. Due to its density, Devington is laid out in a maze-like grid. Roadways may be bumpy, and they appear cracked and uneven. The area has thin sidewalks, and homes reside on plentiful lots, with most residents having an ample front and backyard. The location is mainly residential, with lush, tree-shaded streets, offering locals a mix of suburban and urban characteristics. Devington may experience some growth, as an outpatient care center has already begun construction nearby. “Eskenazi Health is building an outpatient care clinic there,” says LeRoy Lewis III, the Director of Community and Media Engagement at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center. “That signifies growth in the area; it’ll be nice for residents to have a state-of-the-art health center so close.”
