OUR VISION

The IND15RPC is a collaborative and engaging regional leader committed to driving economic growth with diverse employment and increasing educational attainment. By leveraging our abundant natural resources and agricultural assets, our residents and employees are thriving. Our regional collaboration has led to a resilient economy, booming tourism, a strong commitment to quality of life, and diverse opportunity for all residents. Collectively these achievements have increased population, housing, entrepreneurship, businesses, industries, innovative education, household incomes, and community revenues to continuously support investment in the region and our residents.

This vision was created to help guide the strategies and objectives found in each of the pillars. It was designed as a future statement that is realistic and achievable, while also being flexible for the region. All of the strategies and objectives found throughout the framework chapter help to support and achieve the vision.

The Framework chapters are organized around six pillars. Each pillar is introduced within the context of the broader economic recovery and resiliency framework and why it is an important component of this plan. The pillar contains a goal statement that is then supported by several key strategies. These strategies are further described by objectives, action steps, key partners, and target users/ audience.

This plan is intended to be a guide for the IND15RPC region to utilize as an economic recovery tool and resource. Communities within the IND15RPC region can use this plan to update their own policies, develop programs, and leverage projects and additional funding. Although this plan is intended to be a regional guide, communities within the region can use specific programs and projects to continue their own local recovery efforts. Achieving the objectives outlined in the pillars will be a larger endeavor involving the development of new programs and expansion of existing departments. However, individual towns and cities may choose to prioritize certain strategies and objectives based on current needs.
