Amid falling bricks, fresh cement and dust, Noblesville changed from town into city Michele MiUer and Beth Fraze Green Valley, Monterey Village, the Har- bours. Wellington . . . what do all these places have in common? They are all subdivisons within the city of Noblesville, half of which have been built in the last decade. These additions have helped to expand Noblesville. bringing more citizens to the community and students to the high school. Long-time residents have seen this change as well as others in the past ten years. In 1971, Noblesville acquired its first radio station. WHYT may have seemed like a small variation, but it signified the first step of change from town into city. Monumental al- terations were yet to occur. In 1974, NHS spawned a new addition which boasted a 650 seat auditorium. It was 1975, however, that brought the multiple changes. To begin with, construction started on a new county jail; 1.3 million dol- lars was allotted for the new structure. Work also commenced on a new pool to replace the 40 year old one at Forest Park. The up-to-date pool was Olympic size. Diving platforms were also erected. The renovation didn ' t stop there. In the years to come, the community saw more buildings go up, as well as come down. Su- permarkets and chain stores increased and new sport and clothing stores were built. The construction of 3D discount store and the shops around it gave the city its first well rounded shopping center. These modifications, updating Noblesville, were still in progress at the start of 1981. Even in August, as students prepared for the start of school, work continued on State Road 37. The existing road was repaved and two new lanes were added to convert it into a four-lane highway. These new additions did not occur without some compromise. In the modernization pro- cess many long-standing buildings and well known landmarks were torn down. Progress, although needed, took its toll. opening • 3
