Hamilton County’s To-Do List 🏡 

The Hamilton County Community Foundation dropped a report on what they believe our community needs most. Spoiler: we're crushing it compared to state averages, but there's always room for improvement. Here’s where:

• Affordable Housing

• Education & Training

• Social Services

• Childcare Solutions

• Transportation

That might seem like a pretty standard community wishlist. And it is. But it's still cool to see some data-driven direction for future planning and grant funding.

Avoid this area on your boat ❌ 

Captains, steer clear of the red circle area in Geist Reservoir. DNR's checking it out after it claimed at least one unlucky boat. What's lurking down there? Facebook has theories:

• A sunken dock

• Sandbar/rock pile

• Trees

• A bridge

• A church

• Building foundation

Whatever it is, I would avoid this spot unless you're looking to trade your boat for a submarine. Thanks to Amber who shared this heads up with the Geist community, and sorry about your ride!

Fun fact: There's actually a submerged town under Geist which took a deep dive when the reservoir was created. Fishers has a nice history on Germantown if you’re interested in learning more.

No, the police will not ask you for $$ over the phone

Fishers and Hamilton County will sometimes put out PSAs that they will never ask you for payment or anything urgent over the phone 😂 If you get a call with someone asking and they give you a name, you can call the Hamilton County Communications Center at 317-773-1282 to report them. Stay safe out there!

Local Business

More jobs coming to Fishers 👏

INCOG BioPharma is a medical manufacturing company producing sterile injectables and other medical equipment for drugmakers. They’re a true Fishers-based company that started in 2020 and you have likely seen their campus on the NW corner of Exit 5 Parkway and Cumberland Rd.
