It’s that time of year again, when the Hamilton County Commissioners present the annual “State of the County” address.  In 2020, Commissioner Steve Dillinger will speak for the 3 commissioners, according to my news-gathering partner, the Hamilton County Reporter.

Dillinger will offer updates on a number of construction projects throughout Hamilton County including completion of the Logan Street Bridge, Phase Two of the Lowe’s Way expansion, as well as reconstruction of State Road 37 through Fishers and Noblesville.

“This isn’t a speech, it’s a story with a beginning, middle and end,” Dillinger said. “It’s important for the community to see what we’ve accomplished in the past year, what we’re still working on in the new year, and what we’re planning for the future. Hamilton County is constantly evolving.”

Dillinger is also expected to discuss the new local income tax as well as updates to the sign, animal and junk ordinances. He will also touch on efforts to boost tourism throughout the County.

The State of the County is hosted by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce. More than 400 city and county dignitaries, business leaders and residents are expected to attend. The event is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. and end at 1 p.m. Doors open at 11 a.m. The cost is $30 for chamber members and $37 for non-members. Table sponsorships range from $350 to $450. Registration is required. You can register at noblesvillechamber.com or by calling (317) 773-0086.
