November 2023
For nearly three decades, the city of Carmel, under the leadership of Mayor Jim Brainard, has grown from a rather typical north suburban car-centric city to a world-renowned city known for its infrastructure, development and redevelopment, arts and entertainment, diverse culture and, of course, roundabouts. Brainard is Carmel’s first seven-term mayor and is one of the longest serving mayors in the United States. Most cities would take a few centuries to achieve the milestones that Carmel has in 20-plus years.
Highlights of City of Carmel’s redevelopment throughout the last 6 years of Mayor Brainard’s administration.
