News from the City of Carmel  -  June 25, 2021

Celebrating Allied Solutions

After a 15-month absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, thousands of office workers in Carmel’s corporate corridors are finally returning to their workspaces with a renewed sense of “normalcy,” although some restrictions still apply. That includes Allied Solutions, the first major corporate employer to call Midtown its home to hundreds of employees. Allied Solutions has been slowly and responsibly bringing employees back and have now fully resumed normal operations in the offices.

To celebrate together, the City of Carmel and Allied Solutions hosted a special midday party on Wednesday for both employees and members of the public. Mayor Jim Brainard and Allied Solutions CEO Pete Hilger were on hand to formally celebrate employees being back together in Midtown and the Allied Solutions sponsorship of City events, which was announced in February.

Get to know Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation 

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation has always had a focus on sustainability. The department manages over 575+ acres of land, and understands that purposefully protecting land to offer a home to pollinators, birds and all critters is crucial to our community.   

CCPR's online magazine Park Conversations, recently featured a story titled “Creating Balance: In our parks, our backyards and around the world,” that illustrates our connection, as a park system and as individual community members, to the natural world. It shares examples of what CCPR offers in the realm of education and volunteer opportunities, and what folks can do at home. Small actions lead to big results!
