Tipton sits poised and ready to welcome visitors and new residents to their community and downtown with two major EV battery plants coming online in nearby Kokomo in the next 5 years.
TIPTON — Communities in north-central Indiana brace for a population boom, with the city of Tipton sitting poised for growth.
One of those community stakeholders is business owners Kindra Tragesser, who served on committees with the now-mayor, and says it is up to everyone to do what they can to improve their community. "Tipton is a vibrant, small, quaint community," said Tragesser, who uses her retail storefront not only to sell home goods and decor, but also to host gatherings and events."I want to create community. I want to create a place where people can come and they feel like they belong."
"The town was hopping," said Tragesser, who says her neighboring businesses are an ecosystem of support. Together they host events, recommend shops and restaurants to customers, and collaborate on downtown events to help boost the local economy."So that's what we really love." "I believe that there's a big resurgence for downtowns," said Tragesser."It's very important to have that plan in place, or how you want to see this growth, or just the growth will just come in an bombard."
They have plans for a traffic calming projects to improve walk-ability, which will also include new landscaping.
