When business and government work together in an active partnership with identical goals, you’ll have successful communities with strong economies full of thriving businesses. It’s such a simple concept — and so rarely seen. But in North Central Indiana, it’s the way we’ve done business for decades.
That attitude continues today at the local and regional level. Leaders from our business community and all levels of government know that collaboration is critical in attracting new employers — and in helping current businesses grow and succeed. By working closely together, they can maximize the value of incentive programs, local investments, education resources, and other avenues for encouraging business health and growth.
