Political History Made in Sheridan

By The Times of Noblesville | February 19, 2025 |
Sheridan Town Council: Front Row:  Eric Gifford, member; Silas DeVaney, Council President; Daniel Bragg, member. Back Row:  David Kinkead, member; Ron Stone member; Levi Schrock, member; and Floyd Barker, member. Stone and Barker are the new appointees to the Sheridan Town Council from the former Adams Township Advisory Council. Their positions will be elected starting in the next general election.

    A new political history is being made in Sheridan beginning this year. Back in November township and town voters in Adams Township voted and agreed to consolidate, do away with township government, and become the  new Town of Sheridan. This consolidation includes a new seven-member town council, an increase of two additional members over the previous five-member Sheridan Town Council. The two new members of the council were appointed from the old Adams Township Advisory Board and now the new Sheridan Town Council members represent the consolidated former Adams Township and Town of Sheridan territories. While the two new members of the Sheridan Town Council were appointed, future elections will offer voters an opportunity to vote for their choice.

   The former Adams Township governmental structure has now officially ceased to exist, and the new Town of Sheridan boundaries include the entire township. The vote to incorporate passed with a strong majority back in November and represents a major step forward for the future growth of the new Town of Sheridan. Voters in the new Town of Sheridan will now move forward as a single political entity and be better prepared to serve the needs of residents within the entire old township.
