HSE land auction drew 45 bids, but district will brief board on next steps Oct. 28

Hamilton Southeastern Schools turned down the top offer for roughly 16 acres at 136th Street and Prairie Baptist Road after its online auction closed Oct. 21. Local media reported the district received 45 bids, but officials said the offer did not reach the target price.

The district’s public notice places the parcel at 0 E 136th Street in Fishers and describes it as about 16.14 acres. It also says the electronic sale ran from Sept. 24 through Oct. 21 at 6 p.m. local time.

The next public step is the school board. Auction materials say any signed purchase agreement would still need board approval at the Oct. 28 meeting, and local media reported district officials plan to brief trustees then on next steps.

For residents following the property, the board’s regular meetings are held at 6 p.m. in the district’s central office at 13485 Cumberland Road in Fishers.
