Fishers Town Talk - May 2015 by City of Fishers

Fishers Official magazine for the City of Fishers, Indiana May 2015

MAYOR’S LETTER Last month, I announced two important projects for our city. The first was the proposal for a privately owned and operated sports pavilion that will bring much needed indoor recreational space to our community — a 4,200 seat arena and 245,000 sq. ft. fieldhouse — and yield an estimated $110 million in economic impact. The second was the expansion of Launch Fishers, which continues in a mode of rapid growth. The proposal includes the purchase of the former DECA Financial Services building located at 12175 Visionary Way, and a partnership with Ball State University, a leader in entrepreneurial education, to create the Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence. The new building will triple the co-working space in size and allow Launch to further its impact on our state and region as catalyst for entrepreneurial activity and growth by providing resources and peer-to-peer coaching. While these projects are very different, they are both very impactful and push us closer to becoming the smart, vibrant, entrepreneurial city that I described just a few short months ago in my State of the City address. My team and I will continue to look for and seize opportunities that allow us to become the best city we can be for all who live, work and play in Fishers. As you learn more about these projects (on pages 8 and 9) we welcome your feedback and hope to gain your support in the months to come.

Yours in service, Mayor Scott Fadness

HSE Serving Up Support for Lemonade Day Fishers May 16th Nothing conjures up the memories of summer and childhood like the images of neighborhood lemonade stands. For many of us, the experience was our first brush with public relations and business ownership. Flash forward to 2015, think Lemonade Stand 2.0! Launch Fishers, the City of Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern Schools have joined forces with Lemonade Day Greater Indianapolis to introduce and train a new generation of entrepreneurs. On May 16th, the City of Fishers endeavors to launch a movement to host as many Lemonade Day stands as possible. Fifteen hundred (1,500) is this year’s registration goal to be exact! Ambitious, perhaps, but Launch Fishers Founder and Indy’s Lemonade Day Community Champion John Wechsler, believes the lessons of entrepreneurship are invaluable for students.

up excitement. The event featured welcoming remarks from Principal Danielle Chastain, Dr. Allen Bourff and Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. Mik the Music Man and the RSI Hawk juiced up the crowd with versions of “YMCA” while Lemonade Day Greater Indianapolis Director Jami Marsh moved the students with lemon-themed, spirit games such as the Lemon Head Hoop Toss and Lemon Roll and shared the three business tenets of Lemonade Day: Spend Some of Your Profit Save Some of Your Profit Share Some of Your Profit

“I personally know the excitement of starting your own business and love sharing lean start-up principles with entrepreneurs of any age,” Wechsler stated recently. “Our young entrepreneurs will be provided business mentors through Launch Fishers to help them successfully navigate the whole process leading up to Lemonade Day.” HSE Superintendent Dr. Allen Bourff could not agree more, “The message of Lemonade Day is a great one for students. Hamilton Southeastern Schools is honored and excited to partner to bring this great national campaign to Fishers.” Championing the vision to make Fishers an entrepreneurial city, HSE hosted a Lemonade Day Fishers Kick Off on April 2nd at Riverside Intermediate School. One thousand (1,000) fifth and sixth grade students packed the gym to stir

With students revved up and inspired, the squeeze is on to spread the Lemonade Day concept of youth empowerment through entrepreneurship across our entire school community. Families are invited to join HSE along with Launch Fishers and the City of Fishers on May 16th. Make a lasting investment! Build a stand! Spark a dream!

#EngageFishers with @FishersDan

By Dan Domsic

Toward the end of March, several City of Fishers departmental officials gathered around a table and a few pizzas one evening. The public relations department brought together this band of representatives, which included everyone from the fire department to community development, to hold the City’s first-ever Twitter Town Hall. It was a first for the staff, who were taking questions on accessibility in recognition of Disability Awareness Month. What I found to be important about this type of engagement was that it met residents through a different mode of communication and on a different playing field. One of the common threads that binds many of the people in Fishers together, it’s that they’re busy, busy people. In my role, I try to engage with residents, business-owners and other stakeholders through email, phone calls, and in-person visits. Sometimes all three of those modes of communication can be difficult based on that common-thread of being tied-up with a lot of things to do. So I pose this question: What is the best way to get your feedback and ideas? In times past, I’ve asked for feedback and received a small, but thoughtful, response. Mediums like Twitter are phenomenal for getting in touch with people immediately, but there’s

always the challenge of getting in what you have to say with a small amount of characters. And business owners should, ideally, always be too busy with customers to stop and have a conversation. So, send me an email at domsicd@fishers.in.us to let me know what ideas you might have about getting the word out, or give me a call at 595-3151. Whatever method you prefer, I highly recommend signing up for Fishers Alerts and the many communications we have available at www.fishers.in.us. We live in a world that demands creativity, and that’s something I want to embrace in my communications as my colleagues did with the Twitter Town Hall concept for engaging Fishers.

Check it out:

The Rick Springfield Stripped Down concert is just around the corner; it’s on May 9. For more information on this first for Fishers and the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, check out the Amphitheater’s Facebook page and tune into B105.7.

Fishers takes another step forward as an ‘Entrepreneurial City’ Launch Fishers expansion; Ball State University partnership furthers entrepreneurial culture

On April 16, Mayor Fadness announced a proposed Launch Fishers expansion that will triple the co-working space in size and include a partnership with Ball State University to develop the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The proposed expansion includes the $3.1 million purchase of the 51,571 sq. ft. former DECA Financial Services building at 12175 Visionary Way in Fishers. The current Launch Fishers facility is just 16,000 sq. ft. and the 485 members have quickly outgrown the space in the basement of the Hamilton East library. “Launch Fishers has provided proof of concept for our entrepreneurial city,” said Mayor Fadness. “We are excited to take the next step to expand the scope and impact of Launch Fishers while creating economic development infrastructure for the 21st century.” The partnership with Ball State University to create the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation will further the Launch Indiana initiative and provide entrepreneurship mapping resources and peerto-peer coaching, supporting continued entrepreneurial activity and growth throughout the state.

Town Talk May 2015

The opportunity that exists with this partnership and new facility has me very excited for the future,” said John Wechsler, Launch Fishers CEO. “A sense of place where businesses want to grow and a collaborative environment is how you foster organic economic growth. This expansion accelerates the potential for new jobs and investment in Fishers.” Ball State University, a national leader in entrepreneurial education, has committed to integrating Launch Fishers into its Entrepreneurship Program with both experiential learning for students and with a physical presence at the new facility. The partnership will bring real-world startup experience to students while giving Launch Fishers and member companies access to the university’s research, faculty and students. In addition, Launch Fishers and Ball State University will work together on a best practices mapping framework for entrepreneurial ecosystem development throughout the state of Indiana as a part of Launch Indiana.

“The key to any strategic partnership is recognizing and harnessing each entity’s strengths. Integrating Ball State’s entrepreneurial education expertise and our students into the real-world climate of startups that are housed within Launch Fishers will reap dividends for the university and Launch Fishers. It evidences Ball State's commitment to being an entrepreneurial university and Fishers commitment to being a thriving, creative city. I can't imagine a better opportunity for our students to learn about how to bring new products and services out into the world, and we're honored to be a part of this,” stated Mike Goldsby, Director of the Entrepreneurship Center at Ball State. The City of Fishers has also submitted a Certified Tech Park application to the Indiana Economic Development Corp. earlier this month. The designation will invigorate Launch Fishers’ goal to foster an entrepreneurial culture and create new companies, driving 21st century economic development for the state at large.

OLIO ROAD

Private Multipurpose Sports & Entertainment Project Proposed near Saxony Village

MINDEN DRIVE

136th STREET

134th STREET

A growing community need for indoor recreational space may be met later this year with a $76.4 million sports and entertainment complex owned and operated by GK Sports and Entertainment. Mayor Fadness introduced a proposal for the complex on April 13. The complex would be constructed near the Lake District at Saxony Village.

“This project will have a significant positive impact on the local economy and adds to the quality of life that makes Fishers a great place to live,” said Mayor Fadness. “It also provides a unique opportunity to partner with the private sector to provide needed indoor recreation space for our residents.”

The complex would include a 4,200-seat arena, an adjoining 245,000 sq. ft. fieldhouse and 600-space parking garage to be built on a site near the intersection of 136th Street and Olio Road. The project will be thoughtfully designed and adaptable for professional and amateur sports with the ability to host a variety of hard-court or turf sports. The development is also expected to include a medical office building and future hotel.

The proposal includes a 20-year lease agreement with the City of Fishers for a portion of the fieldhouse, which would provide HSE Sports with use of 12 courts or turf Monday-Thursday from 3-9 p.m. during the school year and community access to a walking/jogging track six hours a day Monday-Friday.

Projections detailed in a study commissioned by the Hamilton County Sports Corp. estimate an economic impact of over $110 million annually, in addition to bringing nearly $80 million in new assessed value to the Saxony Village, home to diverse housing and retail options, IU Health Saxony Hospital, Community Health Network and St. Vincent, and other businesses.

Fishers officials invited residents to provide feedback in three community information sessions, the last one being held on May 7 at 6 p.m. at City Hall. Fishers City Council will vote on the project at the May 18 City Council meeting.
