Avon council unanimously approves road bid, welcome sign update, tax-abatement forms and adopts zoning map amendment for Wright's Gymnastics

The Avon Town Council voted unanimously June 11 to approve a series of routine but consequential items, including a bid award for CR 525 E road improvements, a contract to update the town’s Welcome Avon signs, 2026 tax-abatement compliance forms, Resolution 2026-18 authorizing a real estate closing, and final adoption of Ordinance 2026-09 (map amendment ZA 26-01) for Wright's Gymnastics.

Council President Dawn Lowden presided over the meeting. Clerk-Treasurer Julie Loker confirmed all five council members — Jayson Puckett, Steve Eisenbarth, Robert Pope, Greg Zusan and Lowden — were present. Each approval was made by motion, second and a recorded 5-0 roll call vote.

Why it matters: the road bid directs funding and a contractor selection for a county road project (CR 525 E) that staff described as ready to move to construction; the ordinance adoption changes the zoning map for a new Wright's Gymnastics location and clears a land-use hurdle for that business; tax-abatement compliance forms keep qualifying projects current with the town’s tax-abatement process; Resolution 2026-18 grants authority to complete a real estate purchase transaction tied to a town agreement.
