Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy DRAFT: Input Needed

Your Input is Needed by August 12th

East Central Indiana Regional Planning District (ECIRPD), in collaboration with Ball State University and Purdue Center for Regional Development at Purdue University, has been working on drafting the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the past months.

We have completed the draft CEDS document and it has been released for the mandatory 30-day public comment period until 11:59 PM EDT on Tuesday, August 12. 

We appreciate your time in reviewing this document and sharing your valuable insights by completing this survey. Together, we will continue moving forward to achieve our region’s strong, vibrant, economic future. Thank you for being a part of this very important process.

 

The ECIRPD region is characterized by a mix of more urbanized areas (like Delaware County with Muncie) and predominantly rural communities (Blackford, Grant, and Jay counties) with small towns. While facing challenges such as population decline in some areas, the ECIRPD actively works to promote economic development, improve infrastructure, and enhance the overall quality of life for its residents across these four Central Indiana counties.
