Event Description/Abstract
Elected Indiana’s youngest mayor at 23 years old in November of 2011, following his graduation cum laude from Butler University with a communications degree, Frankfort Mayor Chris McBarnes and his team have achieved a number of successes built around a series of 100 and 200-Day Plans involving four cornerstones: Neighborhood Revitalization, Economic Development, Communications and Citizen Voice.
A sampling of major achievements from the McBarnes administration include creating an Economic Development Plan and Frankfort Redevelopment Commission; forming a partnership with Ivy Tech Community College to create a local campus in Frankfort, and attracting two major food manufacturers, Con Agra Foods and Indiana Packers Corporation to Frankfort.
With a nod toward his focus on providing quality educational opportunities for area youth, McBarnes established his own foundation, The True North, Inc. that provides scholarships to area youth interested in attending Ivy Tech.
