Cornelius Lee Alig, Indianapolis, IN, USA.

Local leader highlights the importance of revitalization, preservation, and social service projects
Cornelius Alig, lifelong Indianapolis resident and longtime urban and commercial land developer, is calling on residents to take an active role in strengthening their neighborhoods. Drawing on his decades of experience in downtown revitalization, zoning, and historic preservation, Alig is advocating for community-driven efforts that ensure Indianapolis continues to thrive for future generations.

"Development isn't just about buildings," said Alig. "It's about people, neighborhoods, and history. Every resident has a role to play in shaping the future of this city."

Why It Matters

Indianapolis, like many mid-sized cities, faces challenges tied to growth, housing, and community resources. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 20% of Marion County residents live below the poverty line, and local reports note that one in four households in the city struggles with affordable housing. Historic neighborhoods often face pressure from new development, while aging infrastructure and limited social services strain communities.

"These numbers aren't just statistics," Alig emphasized. "They're our neighbors. They're families who want safe housing, strong schools, and vibrant neighborhoods."

A Record of Service

Alig has played a leading role in shaping Indianapolis through his appointment as Vice Chairman for the Regional 2020 Plan under Mayor Bart Peterson and as Chairman of the Governor's Residence Commission under two state administrations. Beyond professional service, he has held more than 15 nonprofit board positions and continues to work on social service projects that support local families.

"I've always believed you give back where you can," said Alig. "Sometimes that means serving on a board, but sometimes it just means showing up and helping your community."

A Call to Action

Alig is encouraging residents to look for simple, practical ways to support their own communities. This includes volunteering with local nonprofits, attending neighborhood association meetings, supporting historic preservation efforts, and advocating for equitable development policies.

"You don't have to be in city government to make a difference," Alig said. "Every person can take action-whether it's mentoring a student, planting a tree, or showing up to support a neighborhood project."

About Cornelius Alig

Cornelius Alig has dedicated his career to the revitalization of Indianapolis through urban planning, historic preservation, and community service. He has been recognized for his leadership on regional planning initiatives and his commitment to nonprofit organizations throughout Indiana.

Call to Action:

To get involved, residents can:

*
Volunteer with local organizations like Indy Hunger Network or Keep Indianapolis Beautiful

*
Support historic preservation through groups like Indiana Landmarks

*
Attend monthly neighborhood association or zoning board meetings

*
Look for small, daily ways to give back in their own community

"Big ideas start small," Alig concluded. "If each of us does a little, together we can accomplish a lot."
