Chris Jensen, Republican candidate for Noblesville mayor, announced on Sunday the organizing committee for the transition of Noblesville city government. Chaired by former Hamilton County Superior Court Judge Steve Nation, the committee will gather community input to help ensure a successful and prosperous next chapter for Noblesville.
“I’m ready to work with this group of Noblesville leaders who are willing to give their time and expertise to our city,” said Jensen. “My door is open to anyone who has positive ideas to make our city a better place to live, work, and play. This is a strong first step in a process to ensure a transparent and effective city government for every Noblesville resident.”
The transition committee will be a forum for Noblesville’s residents to convey their ideas and comments to the incoming administration on vision and goals for four policy areas: Comprehensive Workforce & Economic Development, Downtown Culture & Recreation, Roads & Infrastructure, and Public Health & Safety.
“This transition committee will be receiving comments and working with Noblesville’s community, businesses, churches, neighborhoods, and families to help better our city for all,” Judge Nation said. “Chris has a team in place so that he can hear the comments and concerns of the community and be better prepared to serve on day one.”
