During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around a proposed initiative aimed at revitalizing the community of Carmel by encouraging former residents to return. The program, dubbed the \"Carmel Bounce Back Grama,\" seeks to offer incentives that differ from typical relocation packages. Instead of providing cash bonuses to newcomers from various locations, this initiative specifically targets individuals who previously lived in Carmel.

The proposal includes offering memberships to local amenities, such as the Brookshire Golf Course and co-working facilities, with the intention of keeping the financial benefits within the community. The initiative is designed to foster a sense of belonging and encourage former residents to reconnect with their hometown.

Councilor Snyder expressed interest in the proposal, although no specific concerns were raised during the discussion. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance community engagement and stimulate local economic growth by attracting back those who have a history with Carmel.
