I applaud Hamilton County for taking the lead on extending utilities this area. However, I do not believe it would be wise to develop this for an extended period of time under county auspices. County government tend to have lower development standards than municipalities, and also are not positioned to provide integrated urban services to urbanized areas. This is what cities are for.
We already see that the county’s vision for this corridor is not appropriate. Gas stations and convenience stores? That’s what they want for a premier suburban corridor like US 31? Contrast with how Carmel put in place its US 31 overlay long ago that turned that into an incredible corporate and medical corridor. Clearly this does not need to be developed as class A office space, but better master planning for long term durable value of the type that a municipal government would provide is critical. I fear the county will simply put in a collection of random warehouses, problematic subdivisions that no city or town would approve and other such uses.
One of the differentiators of Hamilton County has been that it has large suburbs – not necessarily by the standard of Texas or the Western US, but certainly by the standards of the Midwest – that have the scale to do major things and deliver services at the highest level. Carmel and Fishers are now over 100,000 people. Noblesville is en route to exceed that level. And Westfield is now over 50,000 and will keep growing. All of these cities are doing big things like Midtown Carmel, Grand Park, Ikea/Fishers District area, Pleasant Street, the huge new innovation corridor in Noblesville. They are also doing big things in basic infrastructure around streets, parks, fire, police, etc.
The county should be sure to set up the northern half the county to deliver similarly. I would think that in an ideal world, Sheridan and Cicero would grow to incorporate these areas. However, they may be too small and their development cores too distant to take that on right now. Perhaps Bakers Corner could itself be incorporated and boundaries negotiated. Regardless of the direction, incorporating this area and giving them the technical and other needed assistance to get mobilized is the right answer.
The last thing Hamilton County needs is a Center Grove type area of random sprawl development without municipal governance, combined with the “warehouse district” of I-65 in Whiteland. Avoiding this by setting up proper municipal governance should be a key near term to do for the county and the state.
We’ll said.
