The Fishers City Hall we have known for so long will have the wrecking ball swaying and demolishing the structure, beginning in the second week of October, making way for the new Arts & City Hall Complex, scheduled to open in April of 2024.

The Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety voted Tuesday to approve the second (and final) phase of the public-private partnership agreement with local contractor Meyer Majem, allowing for the demolition of the old and construction of the new facility. The board has previously approved resolutions allowing for the purchase of steel and other items, as well as the moving of the City Hall transformer.  This final resolution clears the way for all remaining construction.

The action Tuesday provides $20.5 million for this final phase.  Total cost for the project is set at $23.2 million.  The Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) agreement with the contractor guarantees the costs listed, with the city and Meyer Najem sharing in any cost savings.
