The Hamilton County Humane Society says it has outgrown the current Noblesville location and is moving forward with plans to make a switch to Fishers.  The Society is eyeing a location on Hague Road, just north of 106th Street.  Council members passed the first reading of a requested rezoning of a ten-acre tract of land.

The rezone will next go to the Fishers Plan Commission where a public hearing will be held.  It appears that legal deadlines will not allow the commission to consider this rezoning at the regular March meeting, but the possibility of a special session of the commission was discussed.  No final decision was made on when the Plan Commission will consider the rezone request.

“We were out of space the day we moved into our current facility in October of 2006,” Humane Society Executive Director Rebacca Stevens told the council.

Supporters of the Humane Society filled the council chambers.  Once the Humane Society item was finished, more than half the crowd departed City Hall
