Mayor said the city has partnered with King Jug Brewery of Fishers to convert a long‑standing family-run building in downtown Noblesville into a second King Jug location, and that the business plans a roughly $4,000,000 private investment to renovate the property.

The project will include outdoor dining, live music, a stage area, a basketball court, a child play area and a walk‑up window oriented to the Nickel Plate Trail, Mayor said. The city added the redevelopment will provide a public restroom on the north side of Conner Street near the trail.

“This will give us a public restroom on the north side of Conner,” Mayor said. “There’ll be a walk up window there for folks that are utilizing the Nickel Plate Trail to go and purchase food and drinks to go about our downtown.”

Mayor credited the city’s economic development staff for vetting the operator and said the city has been working with the owner for months. He asked Councilor Thurston to assist with the next phase of architectural review as needed.

Joyce Daniel and Andrew Murray of the economic development team were thanked in the announcement; the mayor characterized King Jug’s company culture as a good fit for Noblesville. The city described the proposal as adding outdoor and indoor dining spaces; the presenters identified 3,000 square feet of outdoor dining and about 2,000 square feet of indoor dining in their remarks.

City officials said the building will be preserved for future public‑facing uses and that the investment supports walkability and downtown amenities. No tax‑incentive or municipal subsidy was announced at the meeting.

The mayor said further details, including architectural renderings and timing, will be shared as the project proceeds.
