Carmel Appeal Date Set

On Thursday, March 8th, the Indiana State Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case concerning Carmel’s involuntary annexation of Southwest Clay. In May 2006, Judge Hughes, from the Hamilton County Court system, found in favor of the citizens of Southwest Clay Township. As expected, Carmel appealed the decison.

After learning of Carmel’s court defeat last May, Scott Faultless, Fishers Town Council President, made the decision to put the involuntary annexation of Geist on hold until he learns what the Indiana State Supreme Court will decide. Fishers has stated that they are waiting for the Court’s decision to offer them a “road map” on how to forcibly annex Geist.

Residents around the state are expected to show up to listen to this case. When the exact time and room number of the hearing is known, it will be posted on this site. The Court is aware that there will be residents and media there. Please plan on attending this hearing on Thursday, March 8th.
