It has been talked about for years.  I recall local officials in Fishers and Hamilton County sounding the alarm bells as far back as 2013 that a local domestic abuse shelter was badly needed.  I covered a Carmel event in 2016 where Verizon donated $20,000 to the Domestic Violence Network and Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman “sounded a positive note” on the county establishing such a shelter.

So, it has taken quite a long time, but based on a story posted on the IndyStar Web site Monday, Hamilton County has a site in mind for a new shelter in Noblesville.

Both County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt and Prevail Executive Director are quoted in the story, written by Star Reporter John Tuohy.

Most Hamilton County domestic violence victims have been placed in facilities located in Madison and Marion Counties.
