Deputy Mayor details Creekside growth, hotel study and village investments
Summary
Deputy Mayor Justin Hage told the Zionsville Town Council the Redevelopment Commission advanced multiple Creekside Corporate Park projects, highlighted a boutique-hotel recommendation and previewed an RDC incentive and development agreement for 420 South Main.
Deputy Mayor Justin Hage reported to the Zionsville Town Council on the Redevelopment Commission's 2025 activities, focusing on new and pending development in Creekside Corporate Park and downtown village infrastructure.
Hage said several projects are moving forward: an ophthalmology and second-stage eye surgery center has closed and is under construction; Scribe and Crater, an excavation and earthwork firm, has closed on a site and is clearing it; Exclusive Autosports is planning a build on Lot 7; Intelligent Living Solutions held a groundbreaking Dec. 4 and is expanding from a Cedar Street location to a new building on Lot 9 along 106th Street. Hage said Lot 3 is planned as a multi-tenant medical building expected to close in 2026.
Hage described RDC bonding activity earlier in the year for the commercial section of Holiday Farms and summarized a hotel feasibility study the RDC commissioned. The consultant recommended options including an upscale boutique hotel in the roughly 70'00-room range and noted a local shortfall in meeting space, suggesting 7,000—0,000 square feet for community/meeting functions. Hage said the RDC intends to invest to support development at 420 South Main (the Citgo lot), with a development agreement now in draft and expected early next year. He emphasized design character goals for that constrained site, and said an incentive is anticipated to support compatible village-scale construction.
Hage also reviewed allocation areas and budget overviews for RDC funds, and flagged planned infrastructure contributions from the downtown tier of the Zionsville Economic Development Area (EDA) for pedestrian and vehicular improvements in the village. He noted EDA designations expire in 2030 and said Creekside increment is expected to grow as more projects proceed.
Councilors asked about traffic and design scenarios tied to 420 South Main and Hage confirmed the town will host additional public information sessions (the next in-person session noted for Jan. 13) and maintain online project materials. Hage said funds for the 420 South Main project had not been transferred and described follow-up steps if the development agreement changed. The presentation closed with Hage inviting further questions and promising continued public engagement.
