U.S. Census data showed 4699 vacant homes or 14.2%
Maybe these guys?President Bush began work on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Who can we blame for this?
President Clinton signed it into law January 1, 1994
I’m more inclined to blame these guys
Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce
Why?
They were co-inventors of this in 1958
This was manufacturing in the 20th Century
This is manufacturing in the 21st Century
This was farming in the 20th Century

We selected 5 Muncie neighborhoods for the study
Building footprints Alleys, other public rights-of-way Land use (parcel, by state use code) Muncie TIF district Muncie street and park trees Parcels Points of interest School locations (active schools) Sidewalks Woodlands Muncie neighborhoods Traffic count points Average annual daily traffic Vacant lots Abandoned buildings Public project areas Bike lanes and paths Historic districts (local and National Register) Age of buildings Sales data Property value Period-to-period change in value Tax delinquency Property tax generation
Donovan and team requested data on about 80 variables
Neighborhood business district boundaries Areas covered by business/merchants’ association Neighborhood association/block group boundaries Locations of youth and senior organizations Foreclosures (City or HUD data) At-home businesses (from business licenses?) Publicly owned land Community centers Public art Design guidelines and areas where they apply Local intervention tools (list, with geographic
focal areas noted where applicable) Building permits: demolition, new construction,
rehabilitation/renovation Quality and/or condition of building stock Employment centers (Office of Economic
Development) Crime data (Police Dept.) Fire calls (Fire Dept.) Actual fires (Fire Dept.) Decommissioned school buildings (School
District) Speed limits (Dept. of Public Works) Sales tax generation
We borrowed an empty downtown office, and Donovan and his team,
Cara Bertron, Briana Paxton, Jesse Lattig and Courtney Williams,
spent 5 days in Muncie in February 2013. BSU Preservation students
and faculty assisted with fieldwork.
The survey teams got to beta-test an new app called LocalData and complete questions on each property using their smartphones. The data was immediately transmitted to the field office. Thanks to Prashant Singh and LocalData, teams of 6 to 8 people surveyed over 4200 properties in 4 days.
