GEORGETOWN, INDIANA – (April 24, 2025) – The Town of Georgetown is proud to announce the purchase of a future Town Hall, located at 1618 Canal Lane. This significant acquisition was made possible through the generous support of the Caesars Foundation of Floyd County, which awarded the Town a $500,000 Major Grant toward the purchase of the building.
The future Town Hall marks an exciting milestone for Georgetown, providing an improved space to better serve residents, enhance municipal operations, and accommodate future growth. The move to 1618 Canal Lane allows for increased accessibility, greater efficiency, and expanded capabilities for town administration and public services. The future Town Hall will house the Town’s Police Department, Clerk’s Office, and Town Manager.
The Caesars Foundation of Floyd County’s Major Grant Program is designed to provide substantial funding to projects that create a lasting impact on local communities. The $500,000 grant awarded to Georgetown reflects the foundation’s commitment to supporting critical infrastructure improvements that enhance municipal services and contribute to the well-being of residents. This investment ensures that the Town can continue to grow and serve its community effectively.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Caesars Foundation of Floyd County for their generous contribution to our community,” said Chris Loop, Town Council President of the Town of Georgetown. “Without their support, this project could not have happened.”
Town Manager Reny Keener added, “This new facility will greatly improve how we serve our residents and provide a much-needed upgrade for our town operations. We look forward to making this a central hub for our growing community.”
“We are proud to be a part of this significant milestone for Georgetown, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact the future Town Hall will have on residents and local governance,” said Tyler Bliss, Executive Director of the Caesars Foundation of Floyd County.
The acquisition of the building aligns with Georgetown’s ongoing commitment to progress and sustainability. The new location will not only house essential town offices but also serve as a hub for civic engagement and community initiatives.
The Town of Georgetown will invite residents to celebrate this exciting development with plans for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony and public open house in early 2026 after an initial remodel has been completed.
