our community’s identity and contribute to economic impact,” Mayor Schmicker says, explaining that the city is working to create a more vibrant and dynamic community experience through public art installations, events, and cultural programming. Collaboration is at the core of Tipton’s growth strategy. Mayor Schmicker is actively building relationships with neighboring cities, and private sector partners to drive regional economic development. The intent here is to encourage Tipton residents to become their community’s champions, advocates, and marketers. However, this is still only half of the picture, as the other half of Tipton’s expansion involves support from both private and public sector partnerships. “There’s a strong push for regionalism in Indiana, and we are making sure Tipton is part of that conversation,” says Mayor Schmicker. By learning from other municipalities and forming strategic alliances, Tipton is positioning itself as a key player in the state’s broader economic landscape. 9 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 04 TIPTON, IN
