ABOUT THE REGION

Steadfast: Creating Deeper Roots for a Stronger Future is a regional collaboration among six counties, six cities, and 21 towns that have worked together on many different plans and efforts to promote economic development, tourism, education, infrastructure, and other regional efforts. Together, this region has many different assets and strengths that draw businesses and residents to the region. However, the member counties, cities, and towns of the IND15RPC also serve as support centers for areas such as Evansville, Bloomington, and Louisville. This plan will complement the efforts of the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), community comprehensive plans, housing studies, regional tourism studies, and the Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI).
