   • 2014 May, Jeff Wachter, “40 Years After Unigov: Indianapolis and Marion County’s experience with consolidated government”, in Abell Foundation‎, page 1‎:

     In the late 1960s, the political and business establishment of Indianapolis and Marion County used the economic development argument, among others, to consolidate their governments into a single jurisdiction known as Unigov. Established by legislative action in 1970, this city/county consolidation stands out as the only major post-war consolidation to be accomplished without a voter referendum. This report considers Indianapolis’ experience under 40 years of consolidated government to better understand both the benefits and potential drawbacks of unified government in general and the Unigov model in particular.

2. IMS; Ellipsis of Indianapolis Motor Speedway (“The Brickyard”).
