Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness told me in a recent podcast interview that he is focusing on job creation in 2019, and a firm has announced today it is moving its tech jobs to Fishers.
Formstack, a software firm, will move its staff to the third floor of the Four Day Ray Building in the downtown Fishers Nickel Plate District.
“The City of Fishers shares the same spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation we hold dearly at Formstack,” said Chris Byers, CEO of Formstack in a news release. “Our move to Fishers is a reinvestment and recommitment to the growing tech ecosystem in central Indiana.”
