“... What we do know, and what we've had commitments from the state is that it's not going to be an airport, it's not going to be a drone facility, as some of the rumors were out,” said Commission President Jeff Wolfe.
BOONE COUNTY — After months of speculation, Boone County commissioners have confirmed that the State of Indiana is interested in building a large development north of Lebanon off Interstate 65.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation is interested in the land but has been tight-lipped about the details. Commissioners managed to get a little information in the last few days, but nothing concrete. Wolfe said his talks with the State indicate the area could be used as a high-end business development with green space, possibly dealing with technology. But information about the size of the project, what it will look like, how it could affect traffic, and its exact location, are not known.
“Boone County local officials are very disappointed that we were not brought into this earlier,” said Wolfe.Thursday evening, residents packed into the stands at Western Boone High School for an informational session, but the commissioners didn’t have many answers.
