City Hall demolition starts Monday

Fishers City Hall was vacated by the staff some weeks ago and has been the center of police & fire department training exercises lately.  Demolition of the center of Fishers municipal government since 1991 will begin Monday, October 24th.

City officials say there will be public viewing available on the north side of the construction site, with a limited number of bleachers on a first-come first-served basis.  Viewing will be available 9am-4pm October 24 & October 25.  The city reminds those planning to see the demolition that this is an active construction site and you may be subject to unexpected risk.

The building, originally the Fishers Town Hall when first opened in 1991, then City Hall once Fishers transitioned to a city, has been sinking into the water table beneath the building, which resulted in a decision by Mayor Scott Fadness and the City Council to construct a new Arts & City Hall complex, which is projected to be ready for occupancy by the spring of 2024

To preserve the history of the old City Hall, bricks and limestone from the 1991 building will be preserved and incorporated into the new building.

Fishers city staff is performing work in various locations around the city, including the City Services Building nearby, Launch Fishers and the First Internet Bank Building.
