Master Site Plan Takes Shape....
[Come along to Brown County, to see some things Greater Indianapolis Christians are involved with...]
"Its the result of many hours of work by a number of volunteer professionals,” says lead draftsman, Jeff Pitts, of New Song’s Master Site Plan. Pitts, a landscape architect with Interdesign of Indianapolis, is spearheading the project, which has included input from civil engineers, surveyors, general contractors and others.

Schloss’s words are born out in site plan details. A three acre fishing pond, horse coral, and soccer field are located in the middle of the unique neighborhood. Kids will walk by the horses on their way to school, which is located toward the main entrance of the campus. Homes will be spread out on the back 83 acre track on the other side of a classic Brown County creek..."
