The long and anticipated blog post has finally arrived. It is my pleasure to announce that I have finally landed a job! My position title 'Real Estate Improvement Deputy.' I can't believe I'm going to actually be getting paid to look at real estate all day. This position fits me perfectly. I'm in charge of assessing commercial/industrial properties in all of Johnson County. I spent the last couple of days, with my trainer, looking at neighborhoods and recent commercial activity all over the county. It looks like I got my work cut out for me. The Trafalgar and Bargersville area have experienced tremedous growth. I also just recently learned that the Center Grove area is unincorporated...meaning that pretty much any kind of development usually goes. From my observation it seems as though this strategy promotes business development, as Center Grove area is among the most developed-residentially and commercially. I don't believe government interference in this aspect is a good strategy for envisioning growth within city limits, but I'm not in a position to change that. Even if I was, who knows how difficult it would be to unicorporate the city now.
