The fireworks planned for Geist on September 11th may not happen as originally planned.  That is what Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said during a podcast interview recorded May 17.

Some in the community have questioned whether marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with a fireworks display is the proper thing to do, and Fadness says the city is looking at changing those plans.

“I could see that is being changed or modified some way,” Fadness said during the podcast.  “I think that was good feedback from the residents that said, well, I understand what you’re trying to do, but I’m not sure that’s the right tone.”

The city Parks and Recreation Department is taking a look at the date of the Geist fireworks display and Fadness says there could be “some modifications.”

The mayor commented on a number of issues during the podcast, including COVID rules after the new CDC guidance, the much-lower-that expected COVID money coming from the federal government (what had been estimated as $19.6 million is now $7 million), his meeting with the new HSE Schools Superintendent, next steps after the Interrupting Racism program, summer events and the coming road construction.
