Leticia Ramsey, compliance manager with DMD, told the commission the developer missed the 2024 deduction application filing deadline. The amendment will designate Goodwill as the employer for two positions located at the tax-abatement site; DMD staff recommended the waiver and amendment.

Commissioners expressed support for the project, with one commissioner calling it “a critical project for that food desert” and urging assistance to make it successful. The resolution for the public hearing (2025 A-038) was moved and seconded; the roll call recorded unanimous approval (yes votes by Garber; Herget; Lyle; Moriarty; Murphy; Robinson; Schumacher; West; and Dillon), recorded in the transcript as 9–0.

The commission’s action grants the requested procedural waiver and approves the amendment as presented. The transcript does not record additional implementation steps beyond staff’s recommendation and the commission’s approval.","Metropolitan Development Commission approved a waiver of the 2024 deduction application filing deadline and an amendment designating Goodwill as employer for two positions at Indie Fresh Market Enterprises LLC at 6190 East 30th Street.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6453826,"Metropolitan Development Commission approves McLaren Indy tax abatements for Zionsville expansion",399,1009000,1408000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5874491-97d9e7347efa54f89551525b7a1567f8&start=1009&end=1408","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5874491-97d9e7347efa54f89551525b7a1567f8/thumbnail_1009000.jpg","/articles/6453826/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/Metropolitan-Development-Commission-approves-McLaren-Indy-tax-abatements-for-Zionsville-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6453826-e0050772a3ba71bc2b3f5816fca44dce/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164502&Signature=aNec~FmbfudBMsSNDtRloxHdQaiI2apYMmxBXki8NWCvUmStwNoGFD0yzVSj2ok~vhB8jYXnulN57tuFdoBQ8yoQeJeJoDGTGGw6M0wznqEvpIDdZcbNZi57wVXTFvEydrcPE7IEbt2l31866CXYtUKCsWi7xH1kMX51xJoQozO4OIrFeiW6qHPTVBAI-6nUgEzJ2roGXEuSY5msbcigclzlxLL4VXofIeznXwO5s14wBmiJwZSE72YyuMohhkS2x8DbXbju58axaggtCcxmlY5kJ7gYmW5q-B4Uytkfyr-VLaqxpjCcKdUAvTcf2oFbmo1LAURjA4UJYFcMVtNokw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Metropolitan Development Commission on Oct. 1 approved two 10-year tax abatement resolutions that clear the way for McLaren Indy to expand operations at 7615 Zionsville Road in Pike Township.

Kathy Battle of the Commission’s economic incentives team presented the proposals, saying McLaren will expand an existing about 7,300-square-foot facility to roughly 85,000 square feet and proposes about $6,100,000 in real property investment. Battle said McLaren will retain 102 jobs paying an average of $49 per hour and create 10 new jobs at about $45 per hour. She recommended approval of a 10-year real property tax abatement (2025 A-039) and a 10-year personal property tax abatement (2025 A-040).

At the public hearing McLaren representatives Jacob Everett (advisor) and Brad O’Brien (vice president of finance and business operations) described investments in information technology and shop infrastructure. O’Brien said the team is “investing pretty heavily” in mobile and fixed IT infrastructure to support operations and racing activities.

Commissioners voted unanimously to approve both resolutions. The roll call recorded the following votes as yes: Garber; Herget; Lyle; Moriarty; Murphy; Robinson; Schumacher; West; and Dillon. The meeting transcript reports both measures as approved 9–0.

Staff noted the personal-property package totals about $11,000,000 in investments, of which $2,450,000 is abatable; Battle said that, when combined with taxes paid on non-abatable items and existing taxes, the net efficacy of the 90% abatement is approximately 43.9% over the 10-year period.

The commission praised McLaren’s decision to remain and grow in Indianapolis; President Dillon and multiple commissioners offered congratulatory remarks at the vote. The resolutions move the project forward under the terms presented to the commission; the transcript does not record subsequent implementation steps or dates for final agreement execution.

Both resolutions were approved on Oct. 1, 2025.","The commission approved two 10-year tax abatements for McLaren Indy to expand at 7615 Zionsville Road, backing roughly $6.1 million in real property investment and about $11 million in personal property investment and preserving jobs.","actionData","errors"]
