WHAT HAPPENED: The council accepted the resignation of Jim Gaetz from the economic development commission and appointed Harold Hiser to take his place. WHAT IT MEANS: Gaetz cited lack of time to devote to the commission due to COVID-19 and other business-related demands for stepping down. Hiser applied to be a member of the economic development commission, redevelopment authority board or commission at the end of 2019. Hiser served as president of the Hendricks County Redevelopment Commission from 1991-2014.
