Town Manager's Office

On Dec. 15, 2025, the Indian Trail Town Council unanimously voted to hire Adam McLamb as the next Town Manager for Indian Trail. McLamb assumed his responsibilities on Jan. 1, 2026. 

McLamb has been with the Town for more than 20 years, beginning his tenure as a part-time Engineering Intern. Over the years, he advanced through several key roles, including Engineering Technician, Civil Engineer, and Engineering Project Manager, before becoming the Public Works Director and then the Assistant Town Manager. McLamb has played a pivotal role in expanding the Town’s parks and public works services. Under his leadership, the Public Works Department has grown from two employees to 23, now operating with five dedicated crews. He also oversaw numerous special projects and initiatives, including leading the Town’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) committee and managing the development of the Town’s ADA Transition Plan and Emergency Operations Plan.

McLamb received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology and his Master of Public Administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is a longtime resident of Indian Trail, along with his wife and three children. His two eldest children graduated from Porter Ridge High School, and the youngest will graduate next year.  

“Being hired as Town Manager is both a profound honor and a deep responsibility,” McLamb said. “I began my career with this Town as an intern more than 20 years ago, and over that time, I have grown alongside this community both professionally and personally. This role reflects my core values, and it strengthens my commitment to serve the Town with integrity, transparency, and a people-first approach in all that we do. I am most looking forward to working collaboratively with the Mayor, Council, staff, and residents to create, communicate, and inspire a shared vision for the Town’s future.”
