Concord Village

Concord Village is a former housing project, which was located on the Westside of Indianapolis, USA. It was situated in the Haughville neighborhood and was named for the street in which it was built on (Concord Street). It was built in 1967 and is now demolished.

During its construction an arsonist attempted to burn the project down. It quickly became Haughville's "problem area", with high levels of property crime, [...]-related crime, and [...], and was considered the city's worst housing project by the 1980s. The homes gained notoriety in 1992 when two housing inspectors were executed in the area. That year the Indianapolis Police Department set up a "sub-station" inside the projects, and the area received federal grants. It was part of the HOPE VI program, in which the area received an estimated $30,000,000 to help revitalize the area. However, the area continued to worsen, and the projects were eventually demolished. The area is now home to several newer housing developments.
