Pay Dirt Recap

On August 14-15, 2025, Noblesville Stormwater in group partnership with, among others, Elkhart County SWCD, the Hamilton County Surveyor’s Office, and Hamilton County SWCD held its first-annual Pay Dirt conference at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds. The two-day event included equipment demonstrations, construction site tours, educational sessions, as well as vendor contact time. Around 90 attendees learned how the stormwater sector is related to the agricultural and construction sectors through discussion, learning, and literal channels. While some folks thought rooms were too cold and technology did not always cooperate, the event organizers deemed it a success and look forward to hosting the event again next year in the fall.
