Board approves transfer of former Fire Station 32 to Department of Metropolitan Development
Summary
The board voted to transfer former Fire Station 32 at 6332 North Westville Drive to the Department of Metropolitan Development, which plans to offer the property via RFP while noting the site is on the National Register of Historic Places and is under lease through 2032.
Division Chief Kevin Holtman of the Indianapolis Fire Department asked the board to transfer ownership of the former Station 32 at 6332 North Westville Drive to the Department of Metropolitan Development so DMD can repurpose the property and relieve IFD of maintenance and security responsibilities. "Our purpose here today is, request the board to, of transfer of of a property at 6332 North Westville Drive," Holtman said.
Piers Kirby, Administrator for Real Estate and Brownfield Redevelopment at the Department of Metropolitan Development, told the board that DMD expects to offer the property through a request for proposals, will flag the site's status on the National Register of Historic Places as a constraint on redevelopment, and will evaluate future land-use and flood-zone considerations before disposition. Kirby said there is a lease in place through 2032 and that a cell company owns the tower on the site, meaning some site elements will remain under lease terms.
Director Andrew Merkley called for a motion to adopt item 060326c; the motion was moved, seconded and the board voted to adopt the transfer. The transcript records the motion as adopted but does not provide named vote tallies. The transcript does not include the RFP language, appraisal reports or lease documents; those records would be needed to fully assess conditions affecting disposal and redevelopment.
