4 thoughts on “Noblesville City Council expected to vote on controversial, $250M Morse Village proposal

  1. Noblesville is finally getting tired of the sprawl of “mixed use” development done with tax payer dollars through TIF’s. These mechanisms were meant to stimpulate development in blighted areas NOT settings with bald eagles and other wildlife. I love that the developers hire firms to show there is no negative impact on home valuation. How many times do you think these companies come back and tell the firm that hired them they can’t build where they want too. Its a joke. The politicians receive lots of contributions from the developers you can bet on that. I hope for the folks living around this area that they are successful in fighting this rezoning.

  2. It’s most surprising to me that the US Fish & Wildlife would cooperate with the 600 feet rule. They have been tougher with the Indiana Bat protection and restrictions.

  3. Please stop this greed and ignorance of development of the Morse Village Project. Hamilton County Indiana has lost 18,068 acres of some of the best farmland in the country due to development from 2001-2021 and is continuing to lose our precious farmland at an alarming rate not including these 175 acres about to be developed. Once this precious farmland has been developed it’s never coming back! I would also take a long hard look at using TIF funding and the negative impacts for future property tax increases and school funding. I personally don’t think the city of Noblesville has any business funding companies that are planning housing developments in this area and market. Mayor Chris and City Council have allowed and encouraged out of control growth and oversaturated housing in our market with no regard for the future health of our community (schools, healthcare , traffic , increased crime , water table , drainage just to name a few concerns) and just to be able to tout “One billion dollars of investment to Noblesville”! It’s shameful that this project was already in the process of being “Pushed Through” (like other development projects have been) before neighbors and concerned citizens had time to evaluate the impact of this development. If you really like living in our “community” you need to take a long hard look at what you are allowing to happen because if you continue to allow out of control development all that you like about our community will be gone and never coming back ! Please stop this reckless over development starting with putting a stop to this whole Morse Village project (North , South and West Point) . Other than the developer and greedy people – NOBODY wants this project !

    Please Stop
