Regionalism
Through collaborative partnerships with West Central 2025, Thrive West Central, institutions of higher education, and other key partners, we have worked steadily over the past several years to increase awareness surrounding the importance of regionalism and have worked in coordination with the State to prepare for opportunities, such as the Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI).
Perhaps what’s most notable is the three regional groups working together under the umbrella West Central 2025, dedicated to creating the best region to live, work, and play. The Wabash River RDA, Thrive West Central, and West Central 2025 each have unique missions to transform West Central Indiana – Clay, Knox, Parke, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo Counties.
The Wabash River RDA exists to pursue economic opportunities in partnership with the State of Indiana; Thrive West Central serves as the direct connection to the Economic Development Association and serves as the key organization in creating a better life for the aging population; and West Central 2025 focuses on overall quality of life metrics and serves as the foundational organization for the 21st Century Talent Designation. Together, the powerhouse groups of leaders, partners, and public-private partnerships make West Central Indiana a destination of thriving opportunity unlike any other in the state.
