On Oct. 15 a ground-breaking ceremony was held at Hobby Horse Barn at the intersection of 116th Street and Spring Mill Road in Carmel. Seven custom neighborhoods will soon be built as part of Jackson’s Grant on Williams Creek. The area features 280 acres of rolling land immediately north and west of the intersection. It also includes the Williams Creek system and pockets of woodlands that will become focal points of the residential development.
The name pays tribute to the fact that a major portion of the land was passed down to an Indiana resident in a Presidential Grant from Andrew Jackson. Since that time, the land has only been transferred once to the Frenzel/Bookwalter families.
