LEDO Council

We work closely with the 11 economic development organizations in our region to address the needs of companies looking to expand or relocate to Northeast Indiana and the surrounding area. The Local Economic Development Organization (LEDO) Council is an advisory group made up of economic development leaders from those 11 member counties. Together they collaborate with the common goal of improving economic and community development in Northeast Indiana to address shared interests, including:

• business development strategies
• available sites and buildings
• workforce training
• business incentives

The LEDO Council is united by the principles of trust-based collaboration. Adhering to a stringent Code of Ethics, LEDO Council members actively step up for the betterment of the whole region with accountability and a sense of responsibility to one another.
