The town of Fishers, now 52,000 people, is planning on annexing the homes around Geist Reservoir north of Indianapolis. From the Indianpolis Star:
Yorktown and Muncie have been trading barbs over Yorktown's plan to take in a large area between the two communities. Now the barbs have turned into swordsplay; Muncie has filed suit to stop Yorktown.The annexation plan came as a shock to Michael Smith, who has lived for 15 years in a house on a hillside overlooking the reservoir."We've had the best of both worlds," said Smith. "We've had all the fire and police we need with an Indianapolis address and Hamilton County schools."
