  1. Weren’t these all voluntary annexations? Sounds like neighbors who aren’t in the district trying to kill the LEAP district. I doubt they’ll be successful.

    1. If they received notices as “interested parties” then they are directly affected and have every right afforded them under the law just as the City of Lebanon does. The court will have to decide based on the merits.

    1. You are completely ignorant to the situation and life outside of suburbia. Yes, these people have ideas; and yes, they have aspirations! Also, they are very successful. We are talking about multi-generational farm families. They have worked hard and have dedicated their lives to the most essential profession in the world. One of their aspirations is to pass this down to their children and grandchildren. An EV battery plant is not going to feed or cloth you. Do some research on what everyday essentials are made from corn and soybeans.

    1. The land, our farms, our houses, and our families are important for those of us who live here. All of these economic development initiatives are not being done for the good of Hoosiers. They are targeted to out of state (and country) companies and workforces.

  2. So Lilly is doing something on only 600 acres of the 5200 that are being annexed? I don’t blame those folks for wanting more information on what the rest of the land is going to be used for. I have heard the technology park argument before and seen apartments put up instead. How are they going to zone this acreage? Could someone build a mini steel mill? At a minimum I would want to see strict zoning in place that can’t be circumvented by variances simply because a company needs them.

    1. Lilly is going on 600 acres that is from the first annexation of 1,200 acres that they did a few months before this annexation of 5,200 acres.
