A donation of $20,000 from the Duke Energy Foundation will lead to the planting of 200 trees in the City of Fishers following a Thursday ceremony. This is part of a plan for greening and revitalizing the Allisonville Road corridor between 106th Street and 126th Street, along with growing the tree canopy at Heritage Park at White River off Eller Road and 106th Street.
On Saturday, November 4, community volunteers will plant 115 trees at Heritage Park at White River. The remaining 85 trees will be planted on Thursday, November 9 at businesses and greenspace along the Allisonville Road corridor as part of the Allisonville Road revitalization project.
This past spring, Mayor Fadness announced the City’s reinvestment into the Allisonville Road corridor and long-term plan to boost greenspace, implement road and walkability improvements, and encourage new development along the corridor.
On hand for the Thursday ceremony was Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, Duke Energy Indiana President Stan Pinegar and Duke Energy Government & Community Relations Manager Mark LaBarr.
