“We are thrilled to be bringing back this event post COVID, derecho, and streetscape construction,” said Brooke Prouty, Uptown Marion Program director, in a news release. “Many of the properties on the tour have been undergoing renovations from the derecho or redevelopment and are now market ready. We will also be featuring some unique spaces that have been recently renovated or repaired such as the historic Masonic Temple (opening to the public).”
