Near North Development Corporation is a small nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector based on the near north side of Indianapolis. It was founded in 1977 through a partnership among Methodist Hospital, the Meridian Highland Neighborhood Association, and the Central North Civic Association to address blight and stimulate economic activity along the North Meridian Corridor. The organization aims to lead the development of an economically and socially vital, diverse community of choice, coordinating with residents and local stakeholders to pursue a shared vision. It pursues its mission by building relationships, accessing and promoting resources, and developing partnerships to implement projects, programs, and initiatives that accelerate community progress. Its work centers on residents and businesses within its defined geographic area—approximately from New York Street to 38th Street between I-65 and Pennsylvania Street—where it acts as a local development partner rather than a traditional service provider.
