EDC members flag limited industrial space and ask whether Lebanon is capturing opportunities
Summary
Commissioners asked whether Brownsburg is losing potential development to neighboring Lebanon; staff said Brownsburg has limited available industrial space (about 45,000 square feet) and that many projects seek existing buildings, constraining recruitment of new projects.
Bob McLaughlin asked whether the town was losing potential economic development opportunities to Lebanon, which has seen a lot of development near I‑65. "Are we losing potential economic development opportunities to Lebanon?" he asked.
Ethan answered that Brownsburg's limited available industrial space is a constraint. He said that out of roughly 11 industrial buildings added since 2020, the town has about 45,000 square feet of available space, which limits the town’s ability to attract projects that prefer existing buildings. "Out of the... 11 industrial buildings that have gone up since 2020, we have about... 45,000 square feet of available space," Ethan said. He added that the town’s future land‑use map anticipates industrial near the parkway and mixed or commercial uses as you move north.
