On the Fishers City Council agenda for the Monday night session, released Thursday, was an item for a new office building. The only clue regarding who might be behind it was a firm named AMP Northwest. The city announced Friday morning that office building will house the new headquarters of a local technology firm, Flexware Innovation.
This new structure will be a $3.5 million project containing 24,000 square feet of space. Groundbreaking is projected for the fall of this year.
A total of 12,000 square feet of office space will be set aside for Flexware, with the remaining space available for other tenants.
One hundred parking spaces will be available to the office building employees during the work day and available to the public after 6 p.m. weekdays and on weekends.
“Scott Whitlock and his team are dedicated to growing in Fishers and have been part of our community since the beginning, and I look forward to having Flexware Innovation join the Nickel Plate District’s growing list of companies that call it home,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “The Flexware Innovation Building is a great addition to our downtown as we continue to fulfill the vision of a vibrant downtown center.”
Indiana state government is offering Flexware conditional tax credits and training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim those incentives. The Fishers City Council is scheduled to vote on this incentive package Monday night.
Fishers is offering more than $266,000 in incentives, including impact fee waivers and a tax abatement over a five-year period.
Flexware specializes in using technology to aid manufacturing businesses, particularly in the areas of life sciences, food and beverage and industrial concerns.
