This week's news from around the region includes a huge housing development in Westfield, a prestigious tennis facility in Noblesville and a local woman set to make a splash on reality TV.
🏘️ The Westfield City Council narrowly approved Ironstone, a 765-acre development that will bring more than 1,700 single-family homes and townhouses and 250 apartments to the city's far north side.
It's one of the largest residential projects in Westfield's history, and the 4-3 vote signals a growing rift between city leaders and some residents over how fast the city should grow.
The project is located on the north and south sides of 206th Street where it intersects Horton and Six Points roads, and will be built over 10 to 15 years.
Mayor Scott Willis said infrastructure upgrades, including road improvements and a new fire department, must be finished before the first house is built.
