Derby Mayor Rich Dziekan And Andrew Baklik
In this very newsy episode of 'Navel Gazing: The Valley Indy Podcast,' Derby Mayor Rich Dziekan and his chief of staff Andrew Baklik join reporter Eugene Driscoll to update listeners on a number of issues facing the city.
First the mayor gives his take on the terrible flooding that pounded the city Sept. 25 (and the neighborhoods below the Derby athletic field projects in particular).
Then Dziekan and Baklik talk about a zone text amendment designed to spur investment in the downtown redevelopment zone.
Dziekan then comes out against a zone text change in east Derby being proposed by the Hops Co., a popular beer garden.
The mayor also touches upon a tax incentive plan, and gives an update on the Regional Water Authority's efforts to build a water storage tank in west Derby.
