Now that the court proceedings and condemnation process have ended, the City of Fishers is moving toward getting comments from the public on what they want at Geist Waterfront Park, the only public space on Geist Reservoir.  The Fishers Board of Works and Safety approved a professional services agreement with the firm of Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf to begin that process.

Deputy Mayor Leah McGrath told board members public input sessions will be held later this fall.  “We hope to bring some designs forward for the community to respond to later this year and heading into early 2019,” said McGrath.

Mayor Scott Fadness emphasized that this professional services agreement is not part of the full design process, and that contract will come later.
