Westfield Indiana Symphony Project Being Scaled Down
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010 at 7:30am. 902 Views, 0 Comments.
The Estridge Companies 
had planned a 1,400-acre Symphony in Westfield, Indiana, but have announced recently that they will be scaling down the project by approximately two-thirds. Also, instead of completing the project all at once, the developer will now proceed with the project in a number of phases.

What had originally been a 1,400 acre project will now be only 463 acres.
In addition to this news, Estridge also recently…
