Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear has fired the city's economic development director, Kevin Kelly, after Kelly had
been on the job for about two years.
Kelly couldn’t be reached for comment. But Ditslear said they split
over management styles.
“We don’t like to do that,” Ditslear said. However, “Certainly
in our mind it was significant.”
Ditslear wouldn’t elaborate on the differences, but described his
own style as that of a team player.
Ditslear credited Kelly with improving Noblesville’s relations with the
Indiana Economic Development Corp. and other economic development agencies after Kelly’s predecessor, Chris Hamm, focused
on establishing an industrial park that included space for offices and housing.
Those relationships helped Noblesville
land SMC when the Japanese maker of pneumatic-controlled manufacturing equipment moved its North American headquarters from
Indianapolis this summer.
It isn’t often that a public official cans an economic development chief. What
are your thoughts?

I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.

While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
