Redevelopment report: 11 new industrial buildings in Brownsburg since 2020, 10 are fully leased

A Redevelopment/EDC representative (identified in the transcript as speaker 9) updated the council on local economic development, noting coverage in the Indianapolis Business Journal about a long‑term Brownsburg business and its business partner. The representative reported that since 2020 the town has seen 11 new industrial buildings constructed as part of a 'bringing in more 3% development' effort; 10 of those buildings are fully leased, and one building is partially leased with approximately 45,000 square feet still available.

The representative said these buildings have filled up quickly and invited questions. The report also flagged upcoming APC and BZA activity — the APC will meet March 16 and three cases, including the Auburn Ridge West rezone and a town street and police department project on Mardell Drive, may be forwarded to council for consideration.

Why it matters: the leasing activity indicates demand for industrial space in Brownsburg and has implications for local tax base, jobs, and future infrastructure and planning decisions. Council members encouraged continued follow-up and thanked staff for the update.

The council received no formal action on these items during the meeting; the matters were presented as informational reports.
