Despite the possibility of closing up to 20 Ivy Tech facilities statewide, the community college will open a Hamilton County campus in Noblesville. Ivy Tech is considering closing a quarter of its 72 facilities because of a nearly $68-million deficit but received funding and incentives from Hamilton County. State Sen. Luke Kenley was able to provide $12 million in the newly adopted state budget for Ivy Tech to make renovations at the current Noblesville East Middle School. Noblesville residents voted to approve a $28-million referendum last month that constitutes the district sell the building to Hamilton County for an Ivy Tech campus. Hamilton County and the City of Noblesville have also provided financial assistance for the deal.
