I was astounded at the action by the mayor regarding the IDI property and the city’s plans to take an important part of their property. For some perspective regarding IDI. I was the first person to actually mix the compound in 1972 with a small concrete mixer. I was with them when they bought the current location (Eisen Bros Furniture manufacturing). To see what the Merrell family did to grow their business is remarkable The confidence they had in the city as they grew. Today they are the largest manufacture of the “Glass Polyester” compound in the world, not to mention the number of employees they have had over these many years. I know the neighborhood and to consider it a historic entity is a stretch. I’ve known Tom and Jay Merrell since 1966 when they lived in NY on Thunder Mountain Road. It is a travesty to pursue this agenda with no consideration for this company’s world headquarters in Noblesville. All this agitation for another road, and the necessary bridge across to cross the White River, which won’t be built for another 5/10 years.
