Noblesville Common Council Member to Retire After 16 Years of Service

Noblesville Common Council member Greg O’Connor has decided not to run for another term on the Noblesville City Council after 16 years of service to the citizens of District 5 and Noblesville.

O’Connor began serving his fourth term on the Noblesville Common Council in January 2020. O’Connor served as 2016 council president, a position he previously held in 2009 and 2012. A 36-year resident of Noblesville, O’Connor earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from Butler University.

“I have had the distinct pleasure of serving the citizens of Noblesville for the last 15 years,” Greg O’Connor said.  “I am grateful and humbled by the District 5 citizens support and confidence over these years.  I’m proud of a number of the projects and infrastructure improvements that have been completed and are currently in process.  Most importantly, we have continued to increase the tax base of the City which will not only bring new jobs to the community, but will insure an ongoing flow of funding to continue to support future development, public safety, and infrastructure needs.”

O’Connor has been the Chair of the Council’s Finance & Economic Development Committees and has also been a member of the Noblesville Plan Commission. O’Connor has been engaged in a number of projects, including the recently announced Firestone property transaction.  He has been instrumental in setting fiscal policy for the city and enhancing accounting and financial strategies in coordination with the city controller to promote stewardship of taxpayer funds.

“The City is well positioned from a financial perspective to meet the challenges ahead.  I am confident the current Administration along with the Council will continue to set the pace for quality development & job creation on an ongoing basis,” said O’Connor.

O’Connor has been employed at BMO Commercial Bank for 31 years and serves as Senior Vice President & Director of commercial banking. He previously worked for Huntington Bank and American Fletcher National Bank, also known as J.P. Morgan Chase.

In the community, O’Connor has served as a member of the board of directors of the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and is currently the Secretary/Treasurer of the board of directors of the Riverview Hospital Foundation. He is an active member of Bethel Lutheran Church in Noblesville and has volunteered for a number of other philanthropic endeavors.

O’Connor’s term will end on Dec. 31.
