  1. What a novel concept! A developer is bringing a plan to the local government, complete with financial impact analyses and full disclosure, to be routed through the appropriate, public approval process. There's no behind the scenes quasi-governmental appointed boards buying up ground, incurring hundreds of millions in debt, and then selecting who can build on it and what. I would expect there will be a request down the line for some type of assistance with basic infrastructure. I have no problem with that if a proper cost benefit analysis is done and it proves beneficial to the local tax base. I bet by the time this project comes on line, and our neighbors to the east see their tax bills skyrocketing to support their White Pacadermium, there may be a bidding war for the last few residential units.

  3. LbJ you got owned by the gentleman before me. Get ur facts

  4. RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.

  5. Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?
