The Farmers Bank was recently welcomed as the title partner for the Hickory Junction multi-sport fieldhouse being constructed in Lebanon with a debut date set in February.
Andy Card, Card & Associates founder, announced the partnership on Monday, stating that The Farmers Bank’s commitment to the communities it serves have helped pave a way to the partnership.
“Together, The Farmers Bank and the Card & Associates team will make a tremendous impact in Lebanon and throughout Central Indiana,” Card said. “We are ready to welcome The Farmers Bank customers and team.”
The Farmers Bank, which was established in 1876 and has been locally owned and operated since its inception, has expanded to 12 locations in Central Indiana, providing retail, business, trust and asset management, investment, mortgages and electronic banking services. The Farmers Bank has been involved with the Lebanon community for more than 20 years at its location at 2304 N. Lebanon St. in Lebanon, where it offers a full suite of banking products and services. Christopher Cook, The Farmers Bank Chief Executive officer and President, stated that becoming a partner in the fieldhouse project has been a rewarding experience.
“We have a proud tradition of investing in the communities we serve and making them better places to live, work and play,” Cook said. “We are proud to be able to partner with Card & Associates in their investment in the Lebanon community. As part of the Lebanon community for more than two decades, we look forward to The Farmers Bank Fieldhouse both becoming a gathering place for our community members and positively impacting the local economy.”
The Hickory Junction campus became a centerfold of discussion in Lebanon only 15 months ago as Lebanon Mayor Matt Gentry and Card announced the project to the public. The 12-acre multi-sport facility will span 200,000 square feet with access to eight basketball courts, twelve pickleball courts and one turf field while also sporting pitching and hitting tunnels.
The Hickory Junction campus will be located at 505 S. State Road 39 in Lebanon and will offer amenities for basketball, pickleball, soccer, football, baseball and softball. The campus will also include tenant space, a residential community with luxury apartments and first-class amenities developed under the nationally renowned developer, Ben Canto.
Card & Associates has been involved with the Pacers Athletic Center in Westfield, Mojo Up Fieldhouse in Noblesville and the Community Sports and Wellness Center in Pendleton.
The Farmers Bank Fieldhouse is expected to be completed in February 2024.
