When the Fishers City Council had first reading on a proposed new Meijer grocery on Southeastern Avenue near Cyntheanne Road May 20th, the Council was told the public hearing would be held at a Plan Commission meeting July 10.  That public hearing has been delayed to the August Plan commission meeting, according to city staff.

Meijer is proposing a building with just a grocery and pharmacy, much smaller than nearby Meijer stores on 96th Street just south of Fishers and on State Road 37 in Noblesville.  It would be located adjacent to the Schoolhouse 7 Cafe.

During the community comment at the May 20th Council session, several neighbors spoke out against building a Meijer at that location, citing additional traffic and other concerns.

Many residents in that area of northeast Fishers have been pushing for a nearby grocery, but obviously there are those opposed to this proposed Meijer store.
