During her first term, Wiles was elected as Council President during her second year in office and created the Downtown District Committee to help oversee the funds allocated to enhance Noblesville’s downtown. Also during her time on Council, Wiles chaired the Economic Development Committee, served on the Finance Committee, the Plan Commission and Architectural Review Board and Nominating Committee and was a liaison to the Parks Board.
As a longtime resident of Noblesville, Wiles says she is dedicated to seeing the history of the Noblesville community and especially downtown preserved while recognizing the need to embrace growth: “I am so proud of the creation of the Downtown District Committee, where I brought together members of the Council along with business owners, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce leadership, Noblesville Main Street leadership as well as Nickel Plate Arts. This group’s charge is to evaluate what we can do to continue to enhance our beautiful downtown. We’re just beginning to implement phases of the Downtown Streetscape Plan and I’m excited to see the impact it has.”
“As Noblesville continues to grow, we must continue to invest in our infrastructure to insure that we can handle this growth. I’m proud of the work of this current Council to dedicate resources to plan for the future of our community, and there is additional work to be done. I believe it’s important that we have experienced Council members serving along with our new administration in January of 2020 and beyond,” said Wiles. “I look forward to working with our new Mayor to help Noblesville continue to grow in a fiscally responsible manner. This is an exciting time to help lead Noblesville forward and I look forward to serving the residents of the Sixth District and all of Noblesville.”
In her professional career, Wiles serves as the Executive Director of Riverview Health Foundation, where she works to build resources to support programs and projects that benefit patients and their families at Riverview Health. She is also a member of the 29th Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service class, one of 20 women selected for this program in the state of Indiana.
Wiles and her husband, Greg, are the proud parents of Garrett and Grace, both high school students. Wiles is a graduate of Noblesville High School and Ball State University, and also serves as a member of the Conner Prairie Alliance, the women’s organization that operates the Apple Store at Conner Prairie. Wiles and her family are members of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church.
The Sixth District includes the southeast area of Noblesville, including newer neighborhoods of Blue Ridge Creek, Chapel Villas, Flagstone Woods, Summerland Park, Turnberry at the Park, Waterman Crossing, as well as the Corporate Campus and Hamilton Town Center.
Wiles will seek re-election in the 2019 Republican primary on May 7.
