Whenever a major economic development project is hatched in Fishers, you can count on the Indianapolis Business Journal to be on top of it.  Now that the announcement has been made and The Yard culinary & entertainment development is coming to the area near IKEA (now under construction), IBJ reporter Lindsey Erdody tried to develop some additional details contained in a story published inside the latest published IBJ edition.

The piece tells the story of how the 21 families in the Springdale Estates neighborhood came together to negotiate the sale of their homes to the developer.

She talks to Ashlee Boyd, managing partner of the developer, Thompson Thrift.  She also quotes City Councilor Eric Moeller on how the city would approach requests for drive-up windows in that development.

Bottom line, you will know a little more about what is planned.  You will also know that a lot of details are just not known at this time, but are being negotiated now.
