Near 'Eatside' Passport Program encourages supporting local businesses

INDIANAPOLIS — As Indy’s near east side continues to grow, they’re encouraging residents to support local businesses through their NEAR “Eatside” passport program.You can get a “passport” from one of the small food and beverage businesses involved.

Powers helped bring the program back this time to focus specifically on food and beverage businesses.“We have had a number of grants over the years. Fairly recent, we got a $10 million grant from the Lilly Endowment to help support arts on 10th street,” said NEAR’s Director of Economic Development, Susan Vogt. “We, of course, try to bring in grant dollars to the community and help support our businesses.

“There are a lot of businesses on the near east side, however most of them have been opened within the last five years," said Powers. “We get people coming from all sides downtown, the north side, Irvington, people that live in our community, and they might try a place they’ve never tried before,” said Vogt.
