Sixteen years ago, civic and business leaders endeavored to launch the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership. Their goal was to create one coalition that would unite Northeast Indiana to compete for new investments and surprise investors with the truth about our communities.
Today, Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership has become a model for regionalism and collaboration across Indiana, exceeding the expectations of those original founding board members.
Economic development is about relentless, ongoing optimization and a strong desire to compete globally. So, there is a lot more work that we need to do. That’s why we recently unveiled our rolling strategic plan.
With collaboration at the heart of the plan, we met with investors, developers, business executives, elected officials, community leaders and other stakeholders to develop a strategic 3-year economic development plan for our diverse 11-county region.
The 3-year rolling strategic plan illustrates a clear path to economic resilience through a regionally collaborative effort to increase business development opportunities, accelerate innovation and technology and foster alignment for equitable and inclusive job creation.
Northeast Indiana’s 11 counties are Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley.
