Coming off a year in which businesses brought 2,200 jobs to Fishers, the suburb will hit the ground running in 2018 with at least seven tech-centric companies promising to create another 640 jobs over the next several years.

“We set an audacious goal of 1,000 jobs last year and added 2,200,” Mayor Scott Fadness told the City Council at a recent meeting. “We will continue to push the envelope. It speaks to the long viability of our community.”

Fadness said he was proud that many of the new and expanding businesses were “home-grown.”
