TODAYrsquoS WEATHER

HIGH 26 LOW 20

By STEVE COOKENoblesville Deputy MayorLast weekrsquos announcement about the

Noblesville Field-house at Finch CreekPark generated a greatdeal of excitementthroughout our com-munity Whether resi-dents were fans ofparks youth sports orboth ndash the buzz was aclear indication thatwersquore taking a giantstep forward in devel-

oping the quality of life that east siders havebeen clamoring for

And we all benefit no matter where welive in the city The Fieldhouse furtherstrengthens the Hamilton Town Center andExit 210 area with the greater developmentthat is sure to follow such an amenity ndashwhich ultimately supports our cityrsquos bottomline

Noblesville Parks Director BrandonBennett called the addition of the Fieldhousea ldquogame changerrdquo and hersquos right By posi-tioning the privately owned facility withinFinch Creek Park we have the potential fora public-private partnership that generatesthe necessary property tax revenue andrental income to nearly fund itself In otherwords zero General Fund tax dollars areallocated for the Fieldhouse

As a backstop measure to the Cityrsquoscontribution from the facilityrsquos propertytaxes and rental income wersquore proposing amaximum of $200000 annually of TIFfunding We then gain a $15 million130000 square-foot state-of-the-art sportscomplex that we otherwise would not havebuilt on our own

And all this on 203 acres of land the Citybought during the height of the recessionPlenty of land will remain for Finch CreekPark once the 10 acres for the Fieldhouseare sold

Plus ndash letrsquos be honest We donrsquot need350 additional employees on the Cityrsquos taxrolls who are needed to operate this facilityThat means all staff inside the Fieldhouseare employed through the private operatorKlipsch-Card Athletic Facilities LLC

More importantly the Cityrsquos contribu-tion ensures that our Fieldhouse remain aNoblesville Fieldhouse We would not haveproposed such a partnership unless our owncommunityrsquos sports teams had the chanceto book their own time ndash at a reduced rateduring the week

And that leaves the ldquobig moneyrdquotournaments for the crucial weekend timefor youth sports traveling from near and far
