Aim

It’s official - cities and towns say, let’s go Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!

One of the best activities at #Aim2025 is honoring communities and local officials doing creative, innovative things.

Ready to welcome 1200 municipal officials, speakers, state leaders & experts for several days of learning and strategizing on delivering quality services with fewer resources. #Aim2025

Great tour of The Lerner in @cityofelkhart earlier this week. Today, the mayors are learning more about tariffs and other federal policy updates.

Last weekend all former (and present) Huntingburg mayors came together to celebrate @DCBombers and League Stadium.

Lack of childcare can cause real economic consequences. Yesterday, @todd_barton took this message to Congress when he testified before the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education.

In small towns & cities across IN, dedicating projects like a new transportation facility symbolizes care & commitment to providing basic public services. Under the leadership of Mayor Estabrook, Bicknell continues to excel at securing funding for vital transportation projects.

Thank you to @RepShreve for having us in this morning.

Great group on Capitol Hill today as part of ⁦@leagueofcities⁩ advocacy day. Transportation funding, housing capacity, and grants are all up for discussion.

Congratulations to @LawrenceINcity Mayor Deb Whitfield and @CityofMarionIN Mayor Ron Morrell on their appointments to the @leagueofcities Small Cities Council! Aim is a founding member of NLC and appreciates the work they do to engage communities of all size.

It’s always exciting & enlightening when @pkageyama joins us to talk about fostering the love people feel for their place.

Governor Braun expressed that he will not starve local govmt & schools, but he cannot be dismissive of those who cannot pay their property taxes. The Governor kacknowledged the services locals provide are vital and maintaining these services will not be overlooked.

Nearly 500 municipal members and legislators welcome @GovBraun for a Q&A with Mishawaka Mayor & Aim Prez David Wood.

Several local officials testifying in the Senate urging members of Tax and Fiscal Policy committee to ensure complete revenue replacement before cutting vital dollars that fund public safety, schools, road maintenance, etc. #replacedonterase

The Aim statehouse team is really on the move today and glad to be joined by Aim president and Mishawaka mayor Dave Wood & legislative chair @ctjensen, Mayor of Noblesville. Busy day with road funding, housing, and timing of muni elections in committee.

@kaitlin_lange Great question! In many other states townships function more like towns and have different responsibilities than they have in Indiana. Happy to chat - we could talk about this stuff all day long!

Ok I gotta know… does Ohio handle its roads differently? I lived in a subdivision in a township, not a city, growing up and it felt like my neighborhood roads were always cleared pretty quickly. Or is it because I was in a township? 🤔 indystar.com/story/news/loc…

A great honor for Aim CEO @MattGreller as he was bestowed the prestigious title of Sagamore of the Wabash by @GovHolcomb for his years of dedication to Hoosier cities and towns.

Great column by Aim CEO @MattGreller on the importance of safe, well-maintained infrastructure.

If you haven’t been to Oldenburg, you are missing out on a cool small town experience! Thanks for hosting our final #AimRoundtable for towns and small cities. Tonight’s feature is the @IndianaOCRA Main Street program.

@MayorJensen Thanks for hosting, Mayor. Always great to be in Noblesville, a perfect example of place-based development!

Welcoming mayors from all over #CentralIndiana to #Noblesville to discuss legislative issues and regional opportunities. We are stronger as a region when we work together.
