The Mudsock Office Building at Billericay park is considered a top candidate for a solar panel grant.  This work would need to be completed by the end of 2024 to qualify. The original roof is still on the building and has only about 2 years left on its expected useful life.  The roof must be replaced in order to qualify for the grant.  The Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety voted to award a bid of just over $60,000 to replace the roof.  The solar panels would provide electricity to that building alone.

In one other matter before the board Thursday morning. a transfer of $400,000 was approved providing a 96th Street Facade program.  This is aimed at helping older business buildings along that corridor spruce up their locations and will include setting-up outdoor areas.  The funds are expected to provide “improved exterior aesthetics” for businesses along 96th Street, the Fishers border with the City of Indianapolis.
