The County Line
Your County Line writer goofed in a column last Sunday when I wrote that the City of Noblesville was building three new speculative industrial buildings in hopes of getting yet unknown businesses to locate in the city.
City government, although offering some tax abatement, will not build the structures. An Indianapolis-based firm, Equicor, has entered an agreement with Noblesville to construct 500,000 square feet of industrial space in three buildings in the southeast section of the city.
The city is encouraging this development with the tax abatement. The cost of the buildings and the value of the abatement has not been announced. Construction will likely begin next year.
Although I strive not to make mistakes in this column, they will happen when I jump to conclusions or get the wrong idea on some event or project. While I regret such mistakes, I remember something an old Noblesville newspaper editor, Jim Neal, once said. “At least a mistake in print will soon tell you who is reading the paper.”
