Development totaling $110 million a glimpse of Whitestown’s future growth
WHITESTOWN, Ind. (WISH) — A $110 million development coming to Whitestown is offering a glimpse of the growth expected over the next decade in the town northwest of Indianapolis.
The Padgette Commons development will add food, shopping, and housing just off I-65, at Exit 130, on Boone County Road 550 South.
Town Manager Katie Barr says the housing element is especially crucial, with Whitestown expected to more than double its population in the next 10 years. Barr claims the current population, hovering around 13,000, could reach as high as 30,000 in that time.
“People are begging to move into Whitestown and we’re actually running out of housing with all of our development,” Barr said.
Padgette Commons will add 80 senior housing units and 120 multifamily units, all described as market-rate housing.
Barr says the town hopes the housing combined with the shopping, food, and entertainment on the 40 acres can draw new residents and new visitors.
