Nickel Plate Trail tunnel slated to open in spring

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com City of Fishers leaders led a tour of the Nickel Plate Trail tunnel under 116th Street to give members of the CONSTRUCTION media a first look at the project’s progress.

Construction began in September 2020 and should be complete by spring 2022.

Mayor Scott Fadness, who led the tour with Fishers Engineering Director Jason Taylor, said 40,000 cars travel on 116th Street daily.

“For years, nobody wanted to cross the street because it’s just so congested,” Fadness said.

Fadness acknowledged that the tunnel’s location led to a series of complications, largely because of underground utilities where the tunnel was planned. The city began relocating the utilities two years before construction began. Utilities included gas lines, fiber optic lines and communication lines. The utilities were either buried deeper or were rerouted.

Fadness said a common question he fields about the tunnel is why the city opted for a tunnel instead of a bridge, especially with the buried utilities challenges.

He said because a bridge requires a certain length of sloping to be ADA compliant, the apartments, hotel and developments under construction would have an obstructed

Construction on the tunnel began in September 2020 and should be complete in spring 2022.

view of the bridge wall when completed.

“The most viable scenario was for us to go underground,” Fadness said.

However, the city made an effort to make the tunnel not feel dark and constricting.

“You’ve been in tunnels that feel like a narrow hallway and they’re dark, and it doesn’t give a sense of safety and place, and that’s not what we wanted to do,” Fadness said. “We wanted to open it up from the design perspective.”

The tunnel is extra wide and flanked by a set of stairs so trail users can leave the trail and be in downtown Fishers. There are gathering spaces on the southeast entry that will be a space for live music. The trail from South Street to North Street will be lit and open after dusk, unlike the rest of the trail that closes at dusk. Security cameras also are in place at each end of the tunnel.

Fadness also gave an update on the Nickel Plate Bar & Grill to the northeast of the tunnel. He said he’s not sure if the building would remain standing because of structural issues and electrical and health code violations.

“There was contemplation to save the building and put another restaurant in there, but once we got in there and started really looking at the building, it would cost an inordinate amount of money to bring it up to code,” Fadness said.

Fishers Police Dept. investigate two crashes

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com The Fishers Police Dept. is investigating two serious crashes. One occurred Nov. 5 and killed a 95-year-old man, POLICE and the second happened Nov. 7 and involved a vehicle and a 15-year-old pedestrian.

The Nov. 5 crash occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. Police responded at the intersection of Olio Road and 131st Street.

Emergency crews located two vehicles, a white 2018 Cadillac XT5 and a black 2020

Acura MDX. Both drivers, identified as Doris Newman, 81, and Marsha Lipe, 72, and a passenger, Billy Newman, 95, were transported to area hospitals. Newman did not survive his injuries.

Based on evidence, it appears the Cadillac, traveling southbound, turned left (eastbound), into the path of the Acura traveling northbound, according to investigators.

The Nov. 7 crash happened at approximately 4:30 p.m. at Allisonville Road and White Oaks Drive, near 141st Street.

Emergency crews located a black 2013 Kia Optima, driven by 48-year-old Shawn Stout,

stopped in the southbound lane of Allisonville Road. The 15-year-old pedestrian, who remains unnamed because of his age, was transported to an area hospital.

Based on evidence and witness statements, it appears the pedestrian was running eastbound, across Allisonville Road, when he crossed into the path of the southbound Kia, according to investigators. The driver immediately stopped and cooperated with the investigation. No citations were issued.

Both crashes remain under investigation.

First Internet Bank to begin phased opening

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com First Internet Bank is nearing completion of its new six-story, 170,000-square-foot headquarters at the DEVELOPMENT southeast side of 116th Street and the Nickel Plate Trail. First Internet Bank President Nicole Lorch gave members of the media a tour of the property.

Lorch said First Internet Bank employees will occupy the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors, and 10,000 square feet of the first floor will be for retail bank space. The second floor is 30,000 square feet and is available for commercial lease. The first floor will house Tiburon Coastal Cuisine, a seafood restaurant and steakhouse that will open in fall 2022. It will be at the northwest corner of the building facing the Nickel Plate Trail.

Lorch said some First Internet Bank employees might move in as early as the weekend of Nov. 20.

The headquarters features custom art, including a mural that will span the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors. A replica of the mural will be on the first and second floors.

“We are really excited about that piece of artwork,” Lorch said. “It brings in elements from Fishers and Indianapolis and is a great focal point for our employees and a great conversation piece as well.”

A grand stairwell will extend from the third floor to the sixth floor.

“We felt it was really important to give our employees an opportunity for what we call collisions,” Lorch said.

The bank considers collisions as interdepartment conversations.

“We want to make sure people are bump-

ing into one another and having those conversations,” Lorch said.

The building also has a roof deck for employees featuring fire pits, outdoor yoga, cornhole and bar seating. First Internet Bank has 285 employees, 200 of which will be based at its new headquarters.

First Internet Bank employees also have access to a gym, four beer kegs and two wine kegs and a central cafeteria.

“We really do find being able to bring people together is an important part of our culture,” Lorch said.

“Carsen is a mentally tough player who fights hard for every point,” Tigers coach Steven Peek said. “In the back row, she is scrappy and moves well, and she has numerous shots and skills in the front row that make her difficult to prepare for and defend against. Fishers has been blessed by Carsen’s poise, leadership and determination.”

The 5-foot-7 Plew was second on the team with 210 kills for the Tigers, who finished 22-6. Fishers lost a Class 4A regional championship match to McCutcheon Oct. 23.

Junior Ava Vickers led Fishers with 214 kills.

In the two regional matches against Fort Wayne Carroll and McCutcheon, Plew delivered 18 kills, 17 digs and five blocks. She said she improved throughout the season.

“I feel like I made the most improvement in September this season,” Plew said. “I feel

“There was a large group of talent ahead of (Plew) and the others from this season,” Peek said. “We actually graduated five of

our seven starters, which caused people to overlook us this season. Carsen was one of the players to immediately step up this summer to set high expectations for all, and she was great at setting an example to live up to as well.”

Plew said the Tigers might have taken some teams by surprise.

“I think other people didn’t expect us to

come out as strong this season after graduating so many key players, but I feel we did a great job proving them wrong,” Plew said.

“I think all of us having the same mindset of competing our hardest and continuing to get better each day, but also making sure we had fun while doing it, helped us succeed this season.”

Plew had only 13 kills in limited action as a junior. She also dressed varsity as a sophomore.

“But I only played a handful of points each of those seasons,” said Plew, who played club volleyball for Munciana Indy.

Plew started playing volleyball and basketball in fourth grade.

“I decided to focus on volleyball in eighth grade,” Plew said.

Plew said volleyball has always been her favorite sport to play.

“This made it easy to pick which sport I wanted to focus on,” she said. “I liked the constant speed of the game and how something interesting is always happening.”

Plew plans to attend Indiana University and major in psychology and minor in biology. She would like to play on an intramural volleyball team at IU.

Fishers Marathon Bridge League celebrates 42 years

By Chris Bavender news@currentinfishers.com In 1980, a group of like-minded bridge players in Fishers formed a group to play bridge twice a month.

MILESTONE Forty-two years later, the Fishers Marathon Bridge League is still going strong, with one of the original players, Pam Houck, still playing.

“When we started in 1980, the group was all housewives (and) homemakers and played during the day while the children were at school. Each team played the nine other teams twice during the season,” said Pat Richey, a league member. “Then the children grew up and the women got jobs, and after 20 years we switched to playing at night after work, playing each other’s team just once during the season.”

Then the women retired and found they were even busier than when they were working, so they switched back to playing during the day once a month. The season runs from September through May. Each year, there are 20 women in the league.

During the past 41 years, 80 women and one man have played. Keeping track of how long

The Fishers Marathon Bridge League began in 1980 and is still going strong today. One of the original players, Pam Houck, still plays in the league.

each has been in the league isn’t easy.

“Of the current 20 people, this is my 39th consecutive year,” Richey said. “Two women have been in for 34 years consecutively, one woman for 23 years but she drops in and out of the group. One woman has been

“One woman (has played) 14 years, two

women for 11 years, one woman for 10 years, two women for six years, three for two years and the husband-and-wife team are in their second year.”

Of the 81 people who have played through the years, at least 18 have died, Richey said.

“I play in other bridge groups where the average age could be 80,” Richey said.

“Younger people are not playing bridge. It is not easy finding bridge players, which is why we have a man this year for the first time, and why some of the players do not live in Fishers. Four live in Noblesville, two in Carmel and two in Indianapolis.

“Of those eight, three moved from Fishers to those areas.”

Each team keeps track of the scores of the nine games during the season, and at the end of the season scores are totaled to determine winners. Every team gets a prize from first place to 10th place. Prizes are presented at an annual awards luncheon.

As to what keeps the league going strong, Richey said it’s simple.

“People who play bridge love to play bridge,” she said. “Now that I am retired, I play in four bridge groups. Many others play in multiple bridge groups.”

Mayor encourages residents to practice grace, details how next 24 months will transform Fishers

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness took an unorthodox approach to delivering his State of the City address Nov. 3 at FORUM Events Center in Fishers.

Instead of focusing on new developments, Fadness encouraged Fishers residents to practice gratitude and act more neighborly.

“The key to success for any city, state, or country, for that matter, can be broken down into three main categories: people, place and economics,” Fadness said. “Unfortunately, place and economics will only create a city, not a community. Our people are what makes us a community, and our people are struggling. Not in the logistical sense. They are not struggling from financial matters or even from physical ailments.

“It’s something far more insidious.”

Fadness said his wife, Aunna, recently observed on Facebook that most posts were angry in nature, specifically with regard to politics, social issues and national narratives that had “little to nothing to do” with Fishers.

“The vocabulary of our people has changed. We speak more and more in broad generalities about ‘us’ and ‘them.’ The terms ‘friend’ and ‘neighbor’ have been replaced with Republican or Democrat, Black or white, rich or poor,” Fadness said. “Can we overcome our differences? Can we once again find our commonalties? And what will be required of us to do so? In my opinion, we will all need to exercise the following three qualities: grace, curiosity and a sense of humor.”

Fadness encouraged residents to not always take themselves seriously and to laugh from time to time.

“We are a remarkable city, with an unbelievable amount of potential. The table is set,” Fadness said. “In the coming 24 to 36 months, our city will experience a remarkable transformation. My hope is that through the exercise of a little grace, curiosity and humor, we will see a similar transformation in the way in which we treat each other.”

In terms of economics and place, Fadness said the city was doing well. Despite the

COVID-19 pandemic, the city attracted 3,000 new jobs with average salaries of $70,000 a year. It also saw $570 million in investment.

“Home values have reached all-time highs, and our tax rate was neutral last year, and we just approved a decreased tax rate for the upcoming 2022 fiscal year,” Fadness said. “The city continues to have a AAA bond

rating and our cash reserves actually grew during this difficult time. In short, when it comes to economics, it would be difficult to find another time where the city is doing as well as it currently is. It’s this strong financial and economic capacity that is allowing our city to make historic investments in the second leg of our stool, place.

RECOGNIZING CITY STAFF

(Photo courtesy of the City of Fishers)

At the beginning of his State of the City address, Mayor Scott Fadness surprised his staff by inviting several on stage.

Fadness lauded his staff’s efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and presented awards to Fire Chief Steve Orusa,

Police Chief Ed Gebhart, Communications Director Ashley Elrod, Economic and Community Development Director Megan Baumgartner, Deputy Mayor Elliott Hultgren, City Attorney Chris Greisl and Public Health Director Monica Heltz.

“It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day and not take a moment to truly comprehend the amount of quality-of-life investments that are currently contemplated, under design or being constructed, at the moment.”

Fadness listed several projects that were either nearing completion, were under design or being constructed within the city, such as the Ind. 37 thoroughfare, Geist Waterfront Park, the Nickel Plate Trail, acquiring an additional 100 acres of park land along the White River at 96th Street and Allisonville Road, a new Fishers City Hall with a community art center, a community center with aquatic facilities and construction of Geist Greenway.

“This, along with quality development from the private sector over the next 24 months, will lead to nothing short of a transformation of our city,” Fadness said.

“These investments will reaffirm and solidify our community as a world-class place to call home.”

ESSAY

HUMOR

Bad words?

Throwing shade at DST

Commentary by Terry Anker Provocative American comedian George Carlin had a bit in 1972 roughly entitled the “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” Quite similar, another jokester, Lenny Bruce, claimed in 1965 that he was arrested for uttering some of those words on stage. As it turned out, Carlin would also be jailed for it shortly after a summer of ’72 performance in Milwaukee.

Today, most of these words are found in school libraries, and anyone with an internet connection can watch the video, even in the browser’s safest search mode. Protests and resisting parent groups complained when 1993 ABC police soap opera “NYPD” Blue started using the vernacular, and a fair amount of limited nudity, to help itself stand out from the other freely televised fair. But by now, broadcast cartoons like “Family Guy” run throughout the day and carry language and themes that make Carlin’s jokes irrelevant to modern audiences.

In a 2004 interview, Carlin argued, in part, “These words have no power … we give them great power over us.” Would he be pleased these years later that we have found our way to a freer society?

Do we take ourselves a little less seriously? Do we tolerate those who might make fun of our conventions?

Canadian funnyman Mike Ward was held to account for a Human Rights violation because of jokes he told about a complainant believed damaged his dignity. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court decided that Canadians do, in fact, have a sense of humor. Alas, the dissenting four didn’t get the joke. They demanded that a “message” be sent to others that humor will put you in jail, or the poorhouse. In the U.S., comedian Dave Chappelle is under fire for sharing his comedic take on modern life. Did he, like Carlin, know he’d be canceled, or maybe arrested, for speaking?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“Focus on signal over noise.

Don’t waste time on stuff that doesn’t actually make things better.”

— ELON MUSK

POLICIES Letters to the editor: Current Publishing will consider verifiable letters of up to 150 words. Letters must be thoroughly vetted prior to submission. Current retains the right to reject or return any letter it deems to carry unsubstantiated content. Current also retains the right to edit letters, but not their intent. Send letters to info@youarecurrent.com. Writers must include a hometown and a daytime phone number for verification. Guest columns: The policy for guest columns is the same as the aforementioned, but the allowable length is 240 words. Guest columns should address the whole of Current’s readership, not simply special-interest groups, and may not in any way contain a commercial message.

Dear daylight saving time, I didn’t want to do this through a letter, but honestly, I wasn’t sure how else to get in touch with you, and, well, it’s probably better that we aren’t faceto-face. I’m not sure I could rein in my emotions right now.

D, you know I love you. But I also hate you, and I just can’t go on like this anymore. We’re done.

Look, how many times have we repeated this same cycle of abuse? You disappear every winter to Hawaii or Arizona, and then show up with little to no warning in March. Then it’s weeks of discombobulation with absolutely zero communication from you. I can’t sleep, I wake too early, I forget the clock in my car and then panic that I’m an hour late. And sure, I eventually adjust and tell myself you didn’t mean it, only to go through the whole awful thing again six months later. Isn’t that the very definition of insanity? Repeatedly duplicating a process and expecting a different result?

And for what? A few extra minutes of summer sun? Come on! After 15 years of us, how can you still not understand my geriatric schedule? I can’t stay awake until 10 p.m., even if it’s bright as day outside. If watching “The Handmaid’s Tale” has taught me anything about resisting an oppressive social regime, it’s that I can fight back. I have the power to start an anti-chronokinetic movement that declares “No more!” and make it look cinematically fabulous along the way.

Bottom line? I can’t be the 20th-century farmer that you deserve. So, you and me? We’re done.

Danielle P.S., peace out.

Losing sleep over naptime Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Something curious is happening to me. I’m not napping as much as I used to. For most of my life, if I was on the couch watching a TV show, I’d nod off within five minutes.

But a couple of weeks back, I was awake through an entire Colts game. That particular game, even the Colts couldn’t say that.

When I was a high school teacher, I actually fell asleep in class while proctoring a statewide exam. The kids were very polite.

“I hope we didn’t disturb you yesterday, Mr. Wolfsie,” one of my students said. “We tried to cheat as quietly as we could.”

Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, at red lights, while waiting for my wife to put on makeup, as the dog was relieving himself, at fast-food drive-up windows, in checkout lines — pretty much anywhere.

As a result of grabbing the occasional 40 winks, I missed some events I probably should have stayed awake for. Here are the top three: 1. My 70th birthday party (I wish they had screamed “Surprise!” louder) 2. Paris

3. The end of my 2005 interview with Mitch Daniels My wife, Mary Ellen, has never understood the value of a nap. I think women are afraid they’re going to miss something.

Like a sale, or a beautiful sunset, or the plot of a movie. Men don’t care about stuff like that. On the rare occasion Mary Ellen has fallen asleep during the day, she would awaken with an apology. “I don’t know what happened. I must be coming down with something!” I always had a different attitude when awakening from a short slumber: “Man, that was a great nap. I’m getting better at this all the time.”

My recent inability to nap came up during my last annual physical, but there was some confusion in the conversation.

“How are you sleeping?” Dr. Coss asked.

“It’s been rough,” I told him. “Sometimes,

Until recently, I could take a quick snooze while having dinner with friends, at red lights, while waiting for my wife to put on makeup, as the dog was relieving himself, at fast-food drive-up windows, in checkout lines — pretty much anywhere.

EXCEPTIONAL CARE. SIMPLY DELIVERED.

I’m awake for 8-10 hours in a row.”

“Ten hours?” he gasped. “We need to do some testing. How long has this been going on?”

“Several months.”

“Do you just toss and turn in bed?”

“Well, I’m not in bed. That’s the problem.

I’m out driving the car, watching the news, cooking. Sometimes I’m in the garage operating heavy machinery.”

“This is troubling, Dick. So, you don’t sleep all night?”

“No, I sleep great at night. It’s all day that I can’t sleep.”

Dr. Coss was very helpful once I straightened out the misunderstanding. He said men experience changes in their bodily rhythms as they mature.

“I want you to go home this afternoon and really think about that,” he said. I told him I’d have to sleep on it. Which meant, of course, it would have to wait until that night.

Former Purdue football players Ben Smith, Jason Lorezel and Drew Brees had long talked about going into NEW BIZ business together. There was just one problem: Brees was a little busy with his memorable 20-year NFL career.

Brees retired as the New Orleans Saints quarterback after the 2020 season and now works as an analyst for NBC. “All three of us have remained great friends since we left Purdue, and since Drew is now done playing football, things just fell into place,” said Smith, who lives in Fishers. “Jason heard about Stretch Zone and brought it to Drew and I. After we experienced it firsthand, it was a no-brainer for us that this was the right opportunity for us. This is really something that promotes longevity when talking about health and fitness. All of us are at the age now where it is not as easy to get out of bed in the morning, and proper stretching can reduce those aches and pains.”

The partners opened their fourth Stretch Zone in Carmel City Center on Nov. 1. They previously opened a Stretch Zone in Zionsville, at 10725 N. Michigan Rd., Suite 130, this summer.

The grand opening for two Stretch Zone studios in New Orleans was Oct. 11. Lorezel and Brees live in New Orleans.

“We plan to expand pretty quickly in Indianapolis and surrounding areas,” Smith said.

Smith wants to add locations in Fishers and Westfield by the end of the year or early next year.

Smith learned about Carmel City Center when he attended a rehearsal dinner at Matt the Miller’s.

“There is an excitement around the entire area, and I feel it is the place to be in Carmel,” Smith said.

Brees said it’s special to open Stretch Zone with his good college friends in cities where he has played or near where he has played.

“I have seen the impact and benefits firsthand that stretching has on my athletic potential and quality of life, and Ben, Jason and I are in total agreement that it is time for everyone to try out this patented system that enhances overall health and wellness,” Brees stated.

Stretch Zone is designed for anyone age 14 and up. Trained stretch practitioners guide participants through a series of dynamic stretches geared toward increasing mobility and muscle function.

“It shows that who you are is not dictated by the people around you, and you have to look within to truly find yourself.”

Because of the popularity of the movie and the fact ABBA’s songs, which include the hits “Dancing Queen,” “SOS,” “Waterloo,” “Take a Chance on Me” and the title song remain popular today, Booher said the main challenge of staging the musical is delivering a flawless performance.

“There are many (challenges),” Booher said. “But the most important one is that ‘Mamma Mia!’ is iconic, so we need to live up to expectations.”

“Mamma Mia!” has a cast of 40 performers, 40 crew members and 10 pit band musicians.

“One of the biggest challenges with ‘Mamma Mia!’ is the amount of energy that the show requires,” Britting said. “It takes a lot of energy, both mentally and physically, to put on any musical, but ‘Mamma Mia!’ is unique in that many musical numbers are in the show solely for the purpose of the cast and the audience to have fun.”

The Wine Market and Table

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 1110 Shelby St., Indianapolis What to get: Chicken and waffles Price: $16 Anna’s take: The Wine Market was previously a restaurant and wine bar in Fountain Square that recently rebranded as The Wine Market and Table with an expanded menu. It also moved into a new building only a few blocks away. The restaurant has a brunch and dinner menu, and my favorite item was chicken and waffles. The cornflake and chilecrusted chicken is fried and served on top of a Belgian waffle drizzled with hot honey maple syrup and topped with fresh blueberries, banana and Chantilly cream. Other popular brunch items are steak and eggs ($19), eggs Benedict ($14), and Simply B & G, or biscuits and gravy, ($11).

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A visit to historic IMS Commentary by Don Knebel Encompassing 560 acres, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, is the world’s largest sports TRAVEL venue and hosts the world’s largest single-day sporting event. Named a National Historic Landmark in 1987, it was and remains important to the Indianapolis economy.

Carl Fisher and James Allison owned an Indianapolis company producing automobile headlights. During a trip to Europe, Fisher concluded that European automobiles were better than their American counterparts and decided to build a facility to encourage and test American innovations. In 1909, with financial assistance from Allison and others, he built a 2 1/2-mile racetrack 5 miles northwest of Indianapolis. During races that year, the crushed stone surface proved dangerous and racing was suspended. Racing resumed after the track was paved with 3.2 million Indiana bricks. On Memorial Day in 1911, 80,000 spectators watched Ray Harroun win the first 500-mile race, piloting the Marmon Wasp, assembled in Indianapolis, at an average speed of 74.602 mph. The race attracted other automobile manufacturers to Indianapolis, including Cole, Duesenberg and Stutz.

In 1927, Fisher and Allison sold the facility to World War I flying ace Eddy Rickenbacker.

In 1945, after not being used during World War II, Rickenbacker sold it to Tony Hulman, a Terre Haute businessman. During the next Hartman Capital LLC (505 S. Fifth St., Champaign, IL 61820) is submitting a Notice of Intent to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management of our intent to comply with the requirements of 327 IAC 15-5 to discharge storm water from construction activities associated with Fishers Marketplace Retail Center located at 13588 Bent Grass Lane, Fishers, Indiana 46038. Runoff from the project site will discharge to the Britton Branch.

Questions or comments regarding the project should be directed to Scott Kunkel at Hartman Capital LLC.

The Marmon Wasp is on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

75 years, the Hulman family made enormous improvements to the facility, including building the “Pagoda,” a 10-story control tower and media center evoking early designs. A corporation owned by Roger Penske, a legend in auto racing, purchased the property in 2020.

Except for a yard of bricks at the start/ finish line, the track is now covered with asphalt but is still “The Brickyard.” The Speedway Museum, operated by a nonprofit foundation, displays about 75 cars that have participated in the Indianapolis 500, including the Marmon Wasp, and offers tours of the track and its facilities.

Don Knebel is a local resident who works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. For the full column visit donknebel. com. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY The Play School at Saxony, Inc. (13149 E 131st St; Fishers, IN) is submitting a NOI letter to notify the IDEM of the intent to comply with the requirements under 327 IAC 15-5 (Rule 5) to discharge stormwater from construction activities for the following project: The Play School at Saxony Building Addition in Fall Creek Twp, Hamilton County, Indiana, more specifically, part of the NW 1/4 of Sec26-T18N-R5E; located at 13149 E 131st St, Fishers, IN scheduled to commence on December 1, 2021 and be completed on or before April, 2023.
