Pulte subdivision still under consideration
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
Pulte Homes was back in front of the Zionsville Plan Commission this month with revisions to its proposed residential subdivision along 300 S. between 800 and 875 E.
The revised plan includes 210 single-family homes, down from 269, on 140 acres. Other changes include only one entrance off 300 S. instead of two, and significant buffers for adjacent landowners, including trees and mounds.
Some of the changes are based on conversations with area homeowners. The rezoning petition was continued at the plan commission’s November 2025 meeting after several residents expressed concerns about the project.
Pulte is seeking to have the land rezoned from Rural Single-Family (R1) to Rural Single and Two-Family (R2). Adjacent properties to the east and west are already zoned R2.
The subdivision would feature a new, side-loaded home series not offered by Pulte in the Indianapolis market, ac-
cording to Rex Ramage of Pulte Homes.
“Every two-story home in this neighborhood is going to be side loaded,” he said.
Setbacks of the homes would be staggered to avoid a monotonous streetscape. The subdivision would also have 1.7 miles of walking trails, a playground, pool and other amenities.
But the biggest change is the inclusion of 21 acres for Zionsville Community Schools.
The school district and Pulte agreed to a land swap in February. Pulte agreed to give ZCS the land along 300 S. as well as cash considerations, in exchange for a parcel in Whitestown.
ZCS officials said its land could be used for a new elementary school in the future, though there are no specific plans at this time.
Plan commission members had concerns about the inclusion of the school property in the rezoning request, the possibility of a school in that area in general, as well as there not being any guarantee it would be a school, as opposed to some other school facility.
Commission member Nick Plopper
said he’d feel more comfortable voting on the rezoning if the school property was carved out.
There are also concerns about whether the proposal remains R1 instead of being R2. Commission members said there are less restrictions if the land stays R1, including on landscaping buffers, like mounds. An R1 designation would also allow for more homes.
“I think there is an alternative that could be worse without the benefit that is proposed here,” said commission member Craig Melton, though he had concerns about density and location.
The rezoning request was continued to the plan commission’s April meeting after more than an hour of discussion and comments.
The plan commission only gives recommendations — favorable, unfavorable or none. Actual approval comes from the town council.
The plan commission meets at 6:30 p.m. April 20 and 21 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St. The two April meetings are because of the number of agenda items.

Wastewater transfer nixed
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
After months of deliberations, the Zionsville Town Council voted down a wastewater transfer that would have allowed Citizens Wastewater of Westfield to service a rural area of Union Township.
The proposal would have transferred a certificate of territorial authority, or CTA, from Hamilton Southeastern Utilities to Citizens. A CTA, granted by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, gives a provider exclusive rights over an area. The area in question is near U.S. 421 and Ind. 32.
The council voted 4-3 against approving the transfer March 16. Council President Jason Plunkett and members Sarah Esterline Sampson, Tim McElderry and Joe Stein voted to deny the transfer.
Stein was the deciding vote as the council split on the decision, 3-3, when it voted at its March 2 meeting. Stein was not present.
Stein said before the vote he was “down the middle” but opted to trust the experts, in this case the IURC.
transfer including the exclusivity it would grant Citizens. Stein and Plunkett both previously stated they didn’t want to potentially handcuff future administrations that might want to extend town wastewater service to the area. Doing so would be costly. There are no plans at this time.
Citizens amended its offer to allow the town to service the area itself in 25 years, if the town chose. The company also offered to put up $3 million for infrastructure for when the area develops.
This was viewed favorably by some council members. Councilor Evan Norris, one of the members who was in favor of the transfer, said it would allow for slow, controlled growth in the area. Since the IURC grants CTAs, Citizens and HSE could go to the regulatory commission and ask for it to be transferred; however, it does not appear the companies will do so.
Steve Krohne, legal representative for Citizens, told the council HSE will continue to serve the area.
“To me, the IURC knows better than anybody what’s in the best interest,” Stein said.
There were several questions and issues council members had about the
Citizens already services the area for gas and water. The transfer would have resulted in one utility bill for those customers.
The next Zionsville Town Council meeting is 7:30 a.m. April 20 at Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St.
Braun, CIRDA announce life science investment
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, Secretary of Commerce David Adams and Central Indiana Regional Development Authority leaders have announced an investment of $1 billion in tax credits for the life science industry, in hopes of creating an anticipated 100,000 new jobs over the next decade.
ment stated. “The region’s robust research infrastructure, innovation and commercialization capacity, advanced manufacturing expertise and central location drive central Indiana’s growth and investment in life sciences.”
As part of the March 17 announcement, Braun designated CIRDA as the regional steward to coordinate alignment and execution of the initiative.
“Anchored by global companies and supported by world-class institutions like Indiana University and Purdue University, central Indiana is a leading hub for life sciences,” the announce-

Jennifer Messer, executive director of Central Indiana Regional Development Authority, said the investment will allow CIRDA to continue to build out the region’s life sciences ecosystem and enable all communities to grow jobs and wages.
This spring, CIRDA will complete its Catalyze Planning Process, a strategic plan to expand the region’s life sciences ecosystem and accelerate innovation already underway, according to the announcement.
SAFETY MEETS STYLE
Delph aims to reclaim District 29 senate seat
By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com
Former State Sen. Mike Delph wasn’t looking to get back into politics.
Since losing his longtime seat in the legislature to Democrat J.D. Ford in 2018, the Carmel Republican had been focused on writing and recording music, working as an attorney and teaching leadership courses.
But starting last summer, Delph, 56, began hearing from supporters who wanted him to run again in District 29, which includes parts of Carmel, Zionsville and Indianapolis. He wasn’t initially very interested, but that changed when Ford announced he would run for U.S. Congress this year.
“Once it became an open seat, then I had the floodgates open, people calling me up saying, ‘We need you back,’” Delph said. “So, I said I’d do it.”
Delph, a member of the U.S. Army Reserve, describes himself as a proven conservative leader with common sense. His campaign priorities include a balanced budget without tax increases, a strong Indiana National Guard, maintaining private property rights and support of President Donald Trump.
“I don’t agree with all the things that the president does or says, but he’s the leader of the party, and Republicans need to respect him, in my opinion,” Delph said. “He’s going to be president for three more years, and we should not be fighting with one another.”
Delph said he wants to restore conservative leadership in the state legislature, which he believes have become increasingly influenced by special interest groups.
Other candidates in the District 29 Republican primary May 5 are John Ruckelshaus, who previously served in both chambers of the state legislature, and V. Roni Ford. Democratic candidates are David W. Greene, Demetrice Hicks, Kristina Moorhead and Kevin Short. The general election is Nov. 3.

Mixed-use project moves to town council
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
A mixed-used development received a favorable recommendation from the Zionsville Plan Commission earlier this month.
Woodland Grove, a 51-acre project at 2475 U.S. 421, includes 50,000 square feet of commercial space along U.S. 421, 120 townhomes and 53 single-family homes. Residential structures will be behind the commercial buildings. The plan also calls for a 5-acre nature area and walking trail.
The favorable recommendation to rezone to a planned unit development came after some final adjustments between the plan commission and Pittman Partners, the developer. They include one entry or gateway sign per entrance and a maximum of 150 square feet of signage on commercial buildings.
Moreover, there will be two entrances to the subdivision: Off U.S. 421 and 200 S. to the north. The subdivision will connect to the Union Woodlands subdivision to the east, which would give residents another entrance via U.S.
do,” he said.
The plan went through many revisions in the lead up to the March 16 vote. Off-street parking for townhomes was added and certain uses — like restaurants and general retail — were removed for the commercial district. The number of townhomes was reduced by 20.
The developer also agreed to strengthen language in its proposal that will ensure what is built is consistent with what is proposed.

The project received pushback from neighbors. Complaints ranged from density and the impact on the rural landscape to increased traffic on U.S. 421.
Johnson said the proposal fits the area, especially the commercial portion.
“I’ve been hearing for 10 years, ‘We need more assessed value in this community,’” he said. “Are we going to put it in the middle of our county road system, or are we going to put it on major highways? This is the place to do it if we’re going to do it.”
The rezoning heads to the Zionsville Town Council for final consideration.

Town to acquire more trail properties
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
The Zionsville Parks and Recreation Department is set to acquire several parcels that will go toward the expansion of two rail trails.
Nine parcels are for the Midland Trace Trail north of Ind. 32 in rural Zionsville. Midland Trace is in Westfield and a part of Noblesville, with trailheads at Quaker Park and on Hazel Dell Road.
Zionsville Parks and Recreation Superintendent Jarod Logsdon said the plan is to make Midland Trace a regional east-west trail and have it extend to Lebanon. The Boone County portion of the trail is yet to be built.
“This is a significant head start on the Midland Trace Trail,” Logsdon said.
More parcels will need to be acquired in the future to connect the Zionsville
part of the trail to the one in Westfield as well as extend it west toward Lebanon.
The parks department also acquired properties related to the Big-4 Rail Trail near Spring Noll and the Preserve at Spring Noll subdivisions.
The parcels were previously held by Friends of Boone County Trails, a nonprofit that promotes trail development in the county.
Logsdon said the organization is considering dissolving or consolidating with another group and reached out to the department about transferring some of the parcels it held. Friends of Boone County Trails has previously donated parcels to Zionsville for trails.
The goal is to have the Midland Trace and Big-4 trails converge in Lebanon creating a large loop for the region as well as have trails connect to the Carpenter Nature Preserve and the Village.

ZCHS student plans CPR classes
By Spencer Durham spencer@youarecurrent.com
Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library in Zionsville will host CPR and first aid classes April 4. Sessions are 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to noon.
Elle Erickson, a junior at Zionsville Community High School, came up with the idea for the classes. She is one of three ZCHS students, along with Srijan Basireddy and Josie Lanie, who are participating in the American Heart Association’s Teen of Impact campaign, which consists of nine high school students in the Indianapolis area who are raising awareness and money for women’s heart health.
Erickson heard about Teen of Impact through Health Occupations Students of America, a student group she is a part of. HOSA is for students interested in the medical field. Erickson is a CNA at Copper Trace in Westfield.
“You see heart disease a lot and how it impacts them daily,” she said. “Working there, I’ve heard a lot of stories about heart disease.”
Students are encouraged to create teams, incorporating other students, as they push their message out into their communities. Erickson’s basic CPR and first aid classes aim to serve the Heart Association’s goal of having one person per household who knows how to administer care.
“I think that would make a really big impact,” she said.
Teen of Impact is part of the association’s Go Red for Women Movement, which addresses the clinical care gaps in women’s cardiovascular disease.
About 1 in 5 women die from heart disease, more than cancer combined, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Students, along with the Heart Association’s Women of Impact campaign, want to raise $500,000. This is the third year for Teen of Impact. Although students cannot publicly share how much they raise individually, Erickson said she’s happy with what she’s achieved.
“It’s helped me hone in my skills with outreach and communicating with people,” she said.
Erickson is vice president of HOSA and a member of ZCHS’s Key Club, a volunteer service group sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Zionsville/Whitestown.
Teen of Impact runs through April 9.

Born in 1940 in Detroit, Betty moved with her family to Florida at an early age, first to Tampa and then to Miami. Betty graduated from Miami Senior High School in 1958, where she was a Stingaree cheerleader and Miss Miahi, and from the University of Florida in 1961, where she was a Kappa Delta.
Betty’s love of reading, art, and travel was infectious, and nothing made her happier than sharing those interests with her children and granddaughters. Professionally, she was an educator, teaching Spanish at Santa Fe and
Coral Gables High Schools and later instilling a passion for reading and persuasive writing in students at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Day School lucky enough to be in “Mrs. Huck’s Reading Class.” She expanded her repertoire to college counseling and advised students and parents at Palmer Trinity School, Indian Springs School, Charlotte Latin School, and Shorecrest Preparatory Academy.
Her community service in Miami was extensive, including terms as President of the Junior League of Miami and the Beaux Arts. Betty is predeceased by her parents, Antonio Cortina and Maria de los Angeles Canton, her stepfather, Antonio Canton, her sister, Margaret Ashbridge, and her niece, Diane Ashbridge Gray.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.

COMMUNITY
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
By Samantha Kupiainen news@currentzionsville.com
Zionsville Middle School students and administrators helped serve some of the most vulnerable in Indiana communities by packing meals during the school district’s March 5-7 Do Days event.
Many of the students were no strangers to volunteering.
“Giving back to the community is super fun,” said Emily McKibbin, a ZMS eighth-grader. “Giving people food is important. With the prices of food rising, it’s going to be harder for people to get food. So, giving microwavable food or stove-able food is just really nice for people who can’t afford food.”
Roughly 150 participants packed 14,000 mac and cheese meals at the event. Each included dry macaroni noodles and a powdered sauce packet. Meals will be given to Indiana food pantries. The meals are shelf-stable and easy to prepare.
Food was packed for the Indianapolis-based Million Meal Movement, which consists of volunteer meal-packing events that benefit food pantries across the state.
The Zionsville Rotary Club sponsored the event. More than 600,000 Hoosiers face food insecurity and rely on food banks, including 17 percent of children, according to Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana.
“We like to give back to the community as much as we can,” said Roger Oberweiser, president of the Rotary Club. “One of the big events we like to support is the Zionsville Do Days. Part of that we sponsor and pay for this food packing event. They’ll pack up quite a few meals that they’ll take and give to people within the community.”
Do Days is an annual districtwide volunteer initiative when students and staff come together for various service projects in the district and the local community.
Projects range from writing letters to veterans at the Zionsville American Legion and patients at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital to stuffing backpacks for Indy Hygiene Hub, collecting coats and blankets for those in need and spreading mulch at Mulberry Fields.
“Some are organized through partnerships with local nonprofits and community organizations that identify needs,” said Janet Mann, ZCS chief marketing and communications officer. “Others are created by teachers and students who seek out ways to make a difference.”
Do Days gives students a sense of pride, Mann said.
“Students like seeing how even small actions have a big impact,” she said. “Do Days also creates a strong sense of pride. Students see the impact of contribut-
ing to their community, and the sense of connection and purpose they get back is one of the most powerful returns of the experience.”
The event is expected to grow in the coming years.
“What started as a student idea has become a district-wide effort that now involves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12,” Mann said. “As
more classrooms, clubs and community partners become involved, the possibilities continue to expand.”

MORE ON DO DAYS
Zionsville Community Schools’ Do Days started in 2019 when a small group of Zionsville Community High School students organized a 24-hour day of service, inspired by Indianapolis’ Indy Do Day.
Because many of the service projects required participants to be 18 or older, students shifted to creating a service project that focused on their own community.
“One of the main goals of Do Days is to raise awareness of the needs we have in the local area and to encourage kids of all ages to see the importance of service and giving back,” said Kelly Antcliff, ZCS youth development coordinator.
This year’s Do Days featured more than 100 service projects.

Anderson to play Fishers Event Center
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Country singer Clayton Anderson figures sharing a stage with a good friend for a good cause is a great idea.
“I’ve been friends with Chase (Rice) for a while and that sounds like fun,” Anderson said. “It’s for such a great cause that it’s really hard not to want to be a part of. Everyone is passionate about wanting to do good, so that was a huge motivation.”
The Bev Hartig Huntington’s Disease Foundation presents the 17th annual “Evening of Inspiration: Chasing A Cure” at 8 p.m. April 18 at the Fishers Event Center. Huntington’s disease causes nerve cells in the brain to decay and affects a person’s movements, thinking and mental health.
Anderson and his band will open for Rice. The friends have written music together. Anderson said the Fishers Event Center is an outstanding music venue.
“I’ve seen a concert there myself and the sound is incredible,” he said. “I’ve been to a lot of volleyball games and seen an Indy Fuel game.”
A 1999 Bedford North-Lawrence High School graduate, Anderson spent several years in Nashville, Tenn., before moving to Indianapolis more than a year ago.
Anderson opened Clayton’s Country Bar in September 2025 in downtown Indianapolis, 49 S. Meridian St.
“We’ve been so blessed people have been coming from all over — Illinois, Ohio, Michigan,” he said. “It’s been a lot of fun. The most awesome part of the whole thing is there are so many great bands and it’s great to give people that want to play country music a place to play. Nashville is expensive anymore. I don’t know if I was starting out there again (if) I could go down there and do it. It’s nice to keep our musicians here in Indiana.”
Anderson said he has made guest appearances with the bands at his bar.
A huge sports fan who played basketball in high school, Anderson’s song “Indiana” was played at the College
Football Playoff national championship game and Peach Bowl. He played the huge Indiana University pregame party in Miami before the Hoosiers beat the University of Miami in the title game.
“That was about 7,000 IU fans gathered together. That was pretty cool,” said Anderson, who attended IU. “I went to every single bowl game. I’m going to have to get a second or third job if we are going to keep this football stuff up. It was worth every penny. I stayed long enough at IU to be a doctor, but I don’t have a piece of paper (for a degree), just a doctor of good times.”
Two of Anderson’s songs have been used for College World Series baseball telecasts.
“I had a Ford truck national commercial, which was cool, although I’m a Chevy guy, so that’s kind of weird,” he said. “They paid the bill, so that’s all right.”
“Nothin’ But Net” was played on ESPN college basketball broadcasts.
“That’s probably the worst song I’ve ever written,” he said. “It just happened to work out for TV.”
Anderson, who has been working on new music, said he will play a selection of songs from his career during the
April 18 concert.
“I got caught in a record deal scenario and finally got out of it and can put new songs out finally,” he said. “It’s the worst feeling in the world being trapped. I might play a couple new ones but mostly play the hits, the good songs I got from all the records we’ve put out.”
“Right Where I Belong,” which was featured in the movie “Miracles from Heaven,” is always on the setlist. Anderson said that is probably his most popular song.
One special memory for Anderson was playing at Farm Aid in 2023 at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville.
“As a farm kid from southern Indiana and with so many family farmers in the state, that was a huge honor to be part of it,” he said.
Anderson is set to become a father for the first time in June.
“I’m a homer for Indiana, so I want to have my roots here,” he said. “If I have to go to Nashville for business, I’ll go, but I want to go all in on Indiana. I’m using my guys from Indiana to record music.”

ATI presents goaloriented ‘26-’27 season
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Actors Theatre of Indiana has clear goals for its 2026-27 season.
“We started with over 40 titles and whittled it down to these final four,” ATI Associate Artistic Director Darrin Murrell said. “We wanted to find some regional and world premieres. We were so pleased with the success of our Lab Series developing new works, we wanted to make sure that was part of our main stage season as well. We wanted to build on the shows that people have loved in the past, especially the last couple of seasons, and we wanted to showcase some Broadway legends.”
bury, and Murrell will play the shop owner. Joey Boos will play the lovesick Seymour.
“He’s phenomenal, he is Seymour,” Fitzgerald said. “We are so thrilled to have him on the stage for our season because we’ve been trying to get him, but he’s a busy man.”
The 2027 portion begins with the world premiere of “The Maltese Falcon: A Musical Nightmare” Jan. 29-Feb. 14.
“We actually put this through our Lab Series (in 2024), our series of new works, and it’s now ready for licensing,” Murrell said. “We’ll be doing the first fully staged production of it. After we’re done, other theaters will be licensing the show.”
Artistic Director Judy Fitzgerald, Murrell and the ATI board decided on the four productions set for the Studio Theater at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. The season opens with “Never Can Say Goodbye: The ‘70s Beehive Musical” Sept. 4-20. The show is the sequel to “Beehive,” which opened ATI’s 2025-26 season.
“Many people said as they left the show that they would love to see that with ‘70s music,” Murrell said.
As ATI was presenting “Beehive” last season, the writing team had a world premiere of the sequel in Upstate New York. Murrell said ATI asked if it could stage the Indiana regional premiere of the sequel.
“We’re bringing back the entire cast with the exception of one from last year’s ‘Beehive,’” Murrell said.
That music featured an all-female cast singing songs from the 1960s. The sequel features music by Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer, Debbie Harry, Gloria Gaynor and Pat Benatar, among others.
That show will be followed by “Little Shop of Horrors” Oct. 23-Nov. 8.
“It’s obviously a Broadway classic and a parody of sci-fi horror films of the ‘50s,” Murrell said. “We had the success of ‘Young Frankenstein’ last year as a tie-in to Halloween. There is nothing more classic horror Broadway than ‘Little Shop.’”
The guest director will be DJ Salis-
Murrell, who is directing the musical, said it’s a farcical take on the Dashiell Hammett novel and the 1941 movie with Humphrey Bogart playing Detective Sam Spade.
“He’s wrestling with his conscience and the truth, and the whole play takes place the night before the deposition of the killing of his partner,” Murrell said.
Fishers resident Devan Mathias will play Spade’s long-suffering assistant, Effie. Indianapolis resident Eddie Curry, a Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre regular, also is in the production.
The season will conclude with Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music” April 23-May 9, 2027. The production will feature co-founder Fitzgerald along with the two other ATI co-founders, Cynthia Collins and Don Farrell. Fitzgerald will play actress Desiree Armfeldt.
“It’s a beloved score and it’s set in 1900 Sweden,” Murrell said. “It’s a Broadway classic and features the classic ‘Send in the Clowns.’ The story explores the entangled love affairs of Desiree and the men who love her.”
Richard J. Roberts, who has directed many ATI shows, will be the director.
“What an incredible cast we have. We got everyone we wanted,” Fitzgerald said.
The ATI Lab Series’ free reading will be a musical adaptation of “The Man Who Would Be King” Oct. 4 at Carmel Clay Public Library. The second Lab Series reading is not set yet.

Happy Easter, Zionsville
Editor,
As Easter Sunday approaches, I want to wish all my Zionsville neighbors a very happy Easter. It is a wonderful reminder of the hope of eternal life offered to everyone by the God who made us and gave us his only Son to die for us.
Our hope is not in moral principles or religious philosophy. Our hope is found in the historical fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead three days later. Salvation is only found in him, and he offers it freely to everyone who believes in him.
As the Apostle Paul said in Athens nearly 2,000 years ago, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since he
is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is he worshiped with men’s hands, as though he needed anything, since he gives to all life, breath, and all things. And he… commands all men everywhere to repent, because he has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by the Man (Jesus) whom he has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising him from the dead” (Acts 17:24-31).
I pray that everyone who reads this knows the assurance of salvation in Jesus Christ this Easter. Happy Easter, Zionsville!
Kids should be heard
Editor,
Ron Volkman’s March 10 letter to the editor presents itself as a call for responsibility, but it ultimately argues that student protest should be quiet, convenient and easy to ignore. That misses the point of protest altogether. Yes, free speech comes with responsibility. But responsibility does not mean silence, and it does not mean waiting until after school, out of sight, where no one in authority has to notice. A student walkout is disruptive by design. That is why it gets attention. Protest has never been popular in the moment.
Protesters are often criticized, dismissed or hated by people who do not want change. That does not make them wrong. It often means they are forcing attention onto something others would prefer to avoid.
In this case, the protest worked. It drew attention, created pressure and
David Story, Zionsville forced a response from leadership. That is one of the main purposes of protest. Volkman’s claim that students were misled by biased media falls apart on contact. He never says what reporting was false or what facts the students got wrong. That is because “biased media” is doing all the work in his argument. It is a vague way to discredit protest without addressing the reasons for it. Reporting on these events included conflicting official accounts, video evidence and criticism from Minnesota leaders and Minneapolis police, so students had more than enough reason to question what they were seeing.
Students should be encouraged to think critically, verify facts and speak up when they believe something is wrong. That is not irresponsibility. That is civic engagement.
Kevin Goetz, Zionsville

STANDBY SYSTEMS ENSURE RELIABLE ENERGY
Why a standby generator matters for your home or business
STANDBY SYSTEMS ENSURE RELIABLE ENERGY
Why a standby generator matters for your home or business
editorial@youarecurrent.com
Power outages are a reality in Indiana. Between severe storms, winter ice, aging infrastructure, and unexpected utility disruptions, losing power is no longer a rare inconvenience — it’s something homeowners and business owners increasingly plan for. That’s where a standby generator becomes more than an upgrade. It becomes a layer of protection.
A standby generator is a permanently installed power system that automatically restores electricity to your home or business within seconds of an outage. There’s no manual setup, no scrambling in the dark, and no waiting to see how long the outage might last. The system senses the interruption, turns on automatically, and keeps essential systems running until utility power is restored.
For many people, the value of a standby generator goes far beyond convenience. It’s about safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
In homes, power outages can disrupt daily life quickly. Heating and cooling systems shut down. Refrigerators and freezers stop running. Sump pumps can fail, increasing the risk of basement flooding. For families with young children, older adults, or anyone who relies on medical equipment, losing power can become stressful — and even dangerous — in a short amount of time.
A standby generator helps keep those critical systems running. Lights stay on. Heating and cooling continue to operate. Essential appliances remain powered. Instead of reacting to an outage, your home stays functional and protected.
Businesses face even higher stakes. Power interruptions can mean lost revenue, interrupted operations, damaged equipment, and safety concerns for employees and customers. Restaurants risk food spoilage. Offices lose productivity. Medical facilities and public services depend on continuous power to operate safely. For business owners, a standby generator provides continuity. Operations can continue, systems stay online, and customers aren’t left in the dark. That reliability can make a significant difference during extended outages when restoration times are uncertain.
Another important factor is predictability. Power outages don’t follow a convenient schedule. They often happen overnight, during severe weather, or when
temperatures are at their most extreme. A standby generator removes the guesswork. Because it activates automatically, there’s no need to be present or take action when an outage occurs.
There’s also a common misconception that generators are difficult to maintain or overly complex. In reality, standby generators are designed for long-term
use with manageable maintenance requirements. Regular inspections and service keep the system ready year-round, much like routine care for a vehicle. When properly maintained, a standby generator becomes a dependable, set-it-and-forget-it solution.
Ultimately, installing a standby generator is about planning ahead. It’s an investment in resilience — protecting your home, your business, and the people who rely on them. Rather than waiting for the next storm or outage to highlight vulnerabilities, many Indiana homeowners and business owners choose to prepare in advance.
Midwest Generator Solutions has proudly served Indiana communities since 2017. As a family-owned company founded by Master Electrician and U.S. Air Force veteran Shawn White, we specialize in professional standby generator installation, service, and long-term maintenance. Our certified team is here not just for installation — but for ongoing support.
Reliable power isn’t just about keeping the lights on. It’s about confidence. And when outages happen, that confidence makes all the difference.
If you’re ready to explore your options, schedule a site assessment and see what dependable standby power can look like for your home or business at midwestgeneratorsolutions.com/request-an-appointment.

GALAXY COATINGS ADDS FLAIR TO CONCRETE GALAXY COATINGS ADDS FLAIR TO CONCRETE
Local concrete sealant company grows footprint across five markets
By Leila Kheiry leila@youarecurrent.com
A family-owned flooring company has expanded significantly since it opened its central Indiana store five years ago, now providing businesses and residents in four states with a colorful, waterproof coating for
concrete garage floors, patios, pool decks, kitchens and more.
Galaxy Concrete Coatings owner Jim Williams said the business’ concrete coating process starts with a three-layer product that fills in any cracks, seals and cures the porous concrete surface that’s already there.
“Then the second layer is a color — a flake color,” he said. “You can choose 16 colors I think we have, or we can do custom colors as well. And then we top coat it in a clear, polyaspartic. This whole process takes only a day.”
Williams said the closest competition — epoxy floor coatings — takes several days to apply and is less
durable.
Galaxy has seen a lot of success since it started in late 2019 and now is in five markets. The Indianapolis store is its flagship location, with additional stores in Cincinnati, Denver, Phoenix and Tucson.
Williams said he previously owned an exterior house coating business and liked working in the home remodeling industry. His daughter wanted to start a business with him, and they looked for something similar that they could do together.
“She did the research and found the manufacturer (Penntek Coatings), and we visited with them, and that’s when we started Galaxy,” he said.
Williams said there are other concrete sealant companies in the Indianapolis market, but they vary in quality and durability.
“Our base coat is 99.1 percent solids — obviously can’t be 100 percent, because you wouldn’t be able to move it then,” he said. “You can go as low as 70 percent solids in a base coat. So, what that basically does is, you’re setting a thinner coat on the concrete, so it makes it less durable and you have a higher percentage chance of it delaminating.”
In addition to indoor surfaces, Galaxy Concrete Coatings can seal outdoor areas such as pool decks and patios. (Photo courtesy of Galaxy Concrete Coatings)
Williams said the biggest benefit of a concrete coating is that it transforms what might be just a storage space into a part of the home.
“People start using their garage more,” he said, giving one example. “It’s got some functional use, like for family gatherings, large dining or a man cave where you’ve got a TV and a couple chairs.”
It also provides a durable surface that’s easy to clean if someone spills oil

or a pet has an accident.
Williams stressed that Galaxy is a locally owned family business that strives to be part of the community through donations to local nonprofits and reliable customer service.
“It’s a company they can trust to not only do the job right initially, but if there’s a need or an issue with the product, we’re going to be there to service it,” he said. “They can have absolute faith in us.”
