City of Noblesville, Indiana

Consistent with State Executive Order 20-28 and our ongoing commitment to providing a safe environment for conducting business and performing necessary transactions, the City of Noblesville has dedicated the hours between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. as Separate Operating Hours for Elderly and Vulnerable Populations. Individuals with risk factors who are unable to visit city facilities during the 8-9 a.m. dedicated timeframe may contact the relevant department and request to schedule a one-on-one meeting for their transaction.

Persons over the age of 65 or who have underlying health concerns that create heightened risk in relation to COVID-19 will be given exclusive access to City Hall, the Public Safety Building, and other city facilities during that timeframe. 

Cloth masks or surgical masks can be made available to residents and visitors on an as-requested basis.

  Noblesville Announces Small Business Resilience Grant Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

  Mayor Chris Jensen announced a second round of the Noblesville Small Business Resilience Grant program. Up to $10,000 per grant will again be provided to small businesses that have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

  The grant is focused on helping small businesses with unmet immediate needs such as maintaining payroll, paying rent and utilities, and covering other expenses including personal protective equipment (PPE) to remain operational and serve customers and clients. Businesses are eligible for up to $10,000 per grant based on the demonstrated need. If a business received funding in the first round of funding in early 2020, they are eligible for up to $5,000 in this second phase of grant funding. New businesses within their first year of operation are also eligible for up to $5,000 in grant funding.

  “When we announced this program in the spring at the beginning of the pandemic, we were convinced that short-term assistance was needed to help our business community navigate the various challenges that came from shutdown orders and other public health risks and safety measures. We know that small businesses are a crucial part of our community and that they make vital contributions to our local economy and culture,” Jensen said.  “We want to see them succeed here in Noblesville, and we hope that with a second round of financial assistance and support for the community and other sources, they will be able to get through this challenging time and emerge in a position where they can grow their operations and impact going forward.”

  The deadline to submit applications is at 5 p.m. on Friday, January 8. To view the Noblesville Small Business Resilience Grant application, click here.

  In April, Jensen recommended that the City Council appropriate $250,000 out of the city’s Rainy Day Fund to provide resilience grants to small businesses.  After Council appropriated the funds, 46 grants were provided to local businesses, helping to retain or revive more than 75 full-time and 100-part time local jobs.

  Jensen said he remains committed to keeping residents safe while at the same time reinvesting in the local economy to promote small business growth and economic development in the community.
