Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger gave his annual State of the County address Wednesday at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Noblesville. The event was hosted by the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce. Commissioner Dillinger shared county accomplishments and discussed future plans to a sold-out crowd of residents and business and community leaders.
Commissioner Dillinger gave updates on the Lowe’s Way expansion project, the solar panel installation, the morgue expansion and the expansion of the county jail. He also spoke and showed drone flyover footage and designs about upcoming projects such as the reconstruction of State Road 37, which will turn the road into a parkway where motorists can drive without stop signs or stoplights.
“It feels like we’ve been talking about some of these projects for decades, and we probably have,” Dillinger said. “It takes a long time to design and finance them. But this is the year the rubber hits the road. This project is by far the most important county road project since the installation of 146th Street in terms of the impact it will have on the lives of the people who live in these areas.”
