In late December 2021, the Northeast Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) was awarded $50 million to support Northeast Indiana’s regional economic development plan as part of the state of Indiana’s Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI). As part of the application, the Northeast Indiana RDA published the Growing with Vision video below. The plan, titled “Growing with Vision,” showcases Northeast Indiana’s strong economic transformation in the last decade thanks in part to opportunities such as the Regional Cities Initiative. The plan explores the significant opportunities ahead for the region, addressing the top three focus areas for economic impact: workforce growth, downtown vibrancy, and entrepreneurship and innovation.
