He relates, “It’s great coming into a new community and learning how they have grown. The last 20 years have seen phenomenal growth for the town and, from my perspective, I don’t see that growth slowing down. If anything, I see it picking up in the next few years. They do it right, here. They’ve planned for the long term. They’ve concentrated on keeping up with the infrastructure piece of it and have created some very nice partnerships – not only with developers and builders AT A GLANCE BROWNSBURG, INDIANA WHAT: Mecca for motorsports fans; population approx. 26,397 WHERE: Hendricks County, Indiana WEBSITE: www.brownsburg.org Revving its economic engine
