(EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, November 2, 2023)—Steve Schaefer, who has served as deputy mayor and chief of staff to Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke since 2012, is set to join Indiana-based Garmong Construction as its Vice President for the Evansville Region at the end of November. 

Schaefer, the 1st Deputy Mayor in Evansville’s history, will leave city government on November 29, 2023, and begin his duties at Garmong on November 30, 2023. 

“Steve cares deeply about Southwest Indiana,” says David Hannum, P.E., chairman and CEO of Garmong Construction. “We are excited to have someone of Steve’s experience and expertise joining our growing construction firm.” 

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead and grow Garmong’s operation in our region, as the 100-year-old company has an established record of high-quality work,” said Schaefer. 

Schaefer has had a long history of project management success, from his foundational work with the Interstate 69 initiative to his leadership in rebuilding the City of Evansville’s Parks & Recreation Department. Throughout his time with the City of Evansville, Schaefer has been a key leader in transformational projects including the downtown Convention Hotel, the Medical School campus, and the Deaconess Aquatic Center. 

In 2023, Schaefer was named the “Civic Leader of the Year” by Feed Evansville and also received the statewide recognition “Public Official of the Year” by the Indiana Greenways Foundation.

  1. Wow! Leaving one month early before the current term is over. Even the band on the Titanic played until the ship went down.

  2. Now lets have a “purge” of the Board of Park Commissioners. Hopefully the next mayor will follow through. This is the board that watched our parks deteriorate during Mayor Winnecke’s time. Three of the five members were his appointee’s. While many fought hard to have it relocated, Schaefer didnt keep pickleball out of Wesselman Park, but he did retract his original plan to remove hundreds of tree’s for a new parking lot and a new road. See the August 2022 Board of Park Commissioners meeting. Video record is available on the cities website.
