We Are Looking to Relocate

Beech Grove, IN (March 30, 2020) — After being in our current location since the Spring of 2016, the time has come to move on and we are on the hunt for a new location for our headquarters. Recently, a few businesses have expanded and our current location now lacks proper and ample ADA compliant disabled parking for veterans who come to our office.

We are searching for a commercial zoned building with ample parking for disabled veterans to comfortably park and maneuver. Ideally the building would be able to house our offices, programs and equipment as well as provide space for training workshops and gatherings. A C-4 zoning is right at the minimum and if a C-6 or higher is available, that would be even better.

At least 2,500 sq. ft. would be sufficient, a small kitchen area and inside garage area with a roll up door would also be a huge plus. Must have high speed broadband available, a true fiber network close by would a bonus.

Depending on location, our budget is between $900 and $1100 per month, and we are willing to sign a long term lease. Suitable locations would be Southside Indianapolis, Speedway, East side and the East 10th Street corridor. Outside of Indianapolis areas include: Franklin, Evansville, Greenwood, Fort Wayne, Cumberland, Muncie, Southport, Terre Haute, Greenfield, Anderson, Shelbyville and Plainfield.

Our commercial insurance, permits and required licenses are all up to date. If you have property that meets these requirements, feel free to contact us at: info@bikersinc.org

For his efforts, Raymond was awarded in 2017 the Disabled Vet of the Year Award from the Disabled American Veteran Department of Indiana. Brown described receiving the award as a “great honor,” but says the ultimate gift would be to know that his work will continue when he no longer can. “It would be the best gift, It’d mean an awful lot to me,” he said.

Brown is actively looking to raise funds to purchase a newer vehicle that would allow him to travel the state and restore more grave markers. Also, additional funds for incidentals such as gas and supplies for cleaning are also encouraged and welcome.
