Mayor Scott Fadness says his economic development team is working on a project that could bring 400-500 jobs to Fishers. The mayor made that comment during his Mayor’s Night Out event at Britton Falls on September 2nd.

“We’ve got some big announcements coming up this fall”, Fadness said.  “We’re working really hard on those deals right now and I think we’re going to have some good news in the future.”

The mayor was not specific about exactly what type of employer or employers his team is attempting to lure into Fishers.

The mayor also said the proposed Sports Pavilion incentive package will not go before the city council until the developers have their financing in place.  So far, that hasn’t happened.  The mayor emphasized the city is only willing to provide the incentives agreed to already and if the financing package cannot be done, the project will not go forward as originally planned.

Many of the questions from the crowd dealt with street and road issues in the local area of Britton Falls.  Fire Chief Steve Orusa says he is often asked about a new fire station in that area of the city, and the chief said there are plans to build a station in the future as the area continues to grow.
