Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton's administration plans to annex 8,350 acres and 14,000 people into the city by 2024. The issue is being hotly debated by officials and Monroe County residents who would be affected. Hamilton says the city's last annexation took place in 2004, and the city will fall behind if it doesn't make additions.
The idea is not new, and was first put forward in 2017. But plans were interrupted by an addition to that year's legislative budget: Section 11.8 which prohibited annexation action proposed in the first six months of 2017. The city called Section 11.8 a legislative overreach and brought a lawsuit against Gov. Eric Holcomb to the Indiana Supreme Court. The court ruled in favor of Bloomington in December 2020. Talks of annexing parts of Monroe County resumed in May.
The city has held multiple meetings gathering public input, and had recieved some pushback. Bloomington City Council adopted annexation ordinances in September. The remonstration window ended January 6, 2022 and certified results void 5 of the 7 areas for annexation. But the process is far from over. Court proceedings will most likely determine final annexation adoption.
Where are the areas up for annexation?

Judge hears oral arguments on annexation law
City attorneys argue the law violates sections of the US and Indiana constitutions, both of which prevent the state from impairing existing contracts, such as a remonstrance waiver.
