Avon-based Nolan Security & Investigations, a provider of security services for private events and companies, said it plans to hire as many 300 part-time and full-time workers to serve new clients.

The company said the expansion is being prompted by recent “dramatic growth” in clientele, as well as the potential for more growth next year.

Wages for the new jobs start at $11 an hour, said Cinda Kelley-Hutchings, executive director of the Hendricks County Economic Development Partnership.

Nolan Security completed the Partnership’s Excel program geared toward helping small businesses grow.

The company, founded in 2006 by a former police officer, is located at 5250 E. U.S. 36 in Avon. It currently employs about 50 people and expects revenue of about $2 million in 2011.

    to John Davis: I would suggest that you learn what your talking about before you go spouting off nonsense. You claim "the good of the tax payers" yet on the other hand you insult those that are looking to take the opportunity of employment at a fair above average wage job. Quit reading conspiracy theory books and understand that any small business that can grow around us in this kind of economy is a win for everyone.

    well if we are to go up against 11 and hour wanna be's that would be fine with me! I know I am a better shot! The real threat is Blackwater or what ever they call themselves these days! It is pretty good for us taxpayers to finance the elitist's own private army!

      A sign of the much discussed coming class warfare?

      1. Irvington is up and coming much like Fountain Square. We would love to have something like this in our neighborhood!

      2. Why do we care who has submitted proposals if we can't review the proposals? It's publicly owned land, but the public has zero say in what gets chosen to be built there. Yep, that sounds about right.

      3. Perhaps May 21 is "Evangelical Day" over at the IBJ?

      4. I don't know what's more depressing: that this passes for a defensible elective in a publicly funded SCIENCE class, or that more than half of the posters here are defending this charlatan. Intelligent design is creationism. Creationism is religion. Yes, we have freedom of religion, which deserves to be protected. Now someone kindly show Professor Hedin his freedom by escorting him over to the Religion department at BSU. Carry on.

      5. I hope people realize that the 'vocal' opposition at the meeting represent the minority of people against this project. As with any controversial project - those who don't want it are the loudest, while those who like it or really don't care one way or the other don't come to such meetings. Unfortunately the same may be true of the survey now being offered by the BRVA. I live less than a 5 minute walk from BR Avenue and can tell you that I and most of my neighbors are support this exciting project, or are ambivalent. And how great that it includes quality apartments - something that BR sorely lacks. This is a first class opportunity that we should embrace (and no, I'm not with the BRVA or the developer.) As for the fellow who owns the Good Earth store, if he doesn't want competition then let him pull together his own investors and out bid Whole Foods to operate the proposed grocery component! Come on folks - let's move ahead.
