INDIANAPOLIS — A major hotel under construction downtown has been cited as the reason some conventions and big events will keep coming back to Indianapolis. The work to bring the Signia Hotel to life involves many diverse business leaders who are coming together to change the city's skyline.The city says the project is helping small minority businesses thrive. 'I want to continue to be a trailblazer for women specifically in construction,' said Ashley Collins with HG Metals.
'I wanted to be a breath of fresh air for those that have struggled to try to get onto this project,' said Collins. 'I want to let people know that the possibility exists.'The Capital Improvement Board and AECOM hunt helped give her and many other business owners the opportunity to work on the hotel.The project includes veterans, women and minority-owned small businesses.'It makes sense for us to have businesses that represent all of society,' said David Fredricks.
