9/21/2026 Zionsville Town Council

The Town of Zionsville held a council meeting on September 21, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved additional appropriations totaling $2.44 million in 2026 for various capital projects and equipment purchases, including a $900,000 pathway along Eagle Creek, multiple vehicles and maintenance equipment for the Department of Public Works and Parks, and a $350,000 full replacement of the Malberry Fields splash pad. The council also discussed the 2027 budget, balancing expenditures just below $54 million with revenues, and addressed delaying the hiring of a planning director while maintaining other new hires. Additionally, the council approved a resolution imposing a one-year moratorium on data centers, battery storage, solar farms, and wind farms to allow the planning commission to review and update zoning ordinances. Another resolution was passed expressing opposition to the discharge of wastewater from the City of Lebanon's Leap Innovation District into waterways within Zionsville, signaling the town's intent to engage state regulators and local leaders on this environmental concern. The meeting also included a public hearing and first reading of an ordinance to vacate an alley with conditions to maintain utility easements.
