Jason Biles @BilesJason18057 17/22

@mirrorindy @indydocumenters It seems that there's mixed feelings about the Canal Village III Project and the developers lack of following through with their promises. Also, the designs that were shown to the neighborhood differ from what were actually built

Jason Biles @BilesJason18057 18/22

@mirrorindy @indydocumenters Some of the garages don't even have enough room for tenants to put their vehicles. The qualities of the houses were not of the quality that were promised.
