Development

We know some of you will be excited to see the pickleball and basketball courts in this rendering. | Rendering via @m30collective
If you’ve been here for a while, you might recall we told you about a big development project along the Monon Trail at 30th Street back in 2021. We’re finally getting an update on the project, which is now being called M30 Collective.
Monon 30 is already an entertainment and event venue, which recently hosted Ash & Elm Cider Co.'s Autumntidings Fall Festival, and will serve as the focal point of this development project that spans 46 acres from the 30th block to 38th block along the trail.
In addition to Monon 30, the project will also include:
A modern residential development called The Queue
Commercial hubs for restaurants and coffee shops
Pickleball courts
A design that will resemble the Nickel Plate trail with options for walkers, runners, and bikers
There’s no word on a timeline or when this development is expected to be complete, but we’ll keep you updated as we hear more.
The Buy
The Buy
Hair Food’s highly rated heat protectant spray. The sulfate and paraben-free formula features nourishing ingredients like coconut + argan oil. It’s suitable for all hair types and protects against heat damage up to 450°.
I remember covering the Monon 30 project when it was first announced, and I’m just as excited about it now as I was then. Especially now that I see pickleball and basketball courts are in the picture. We’ve gotten feedback that y’all want pickleball courts downtown, so get excited.
