(Indianapolis, IN) – The La Porte County Housing Alliance is one of the first organizations in the state to benefit from a new community building program.
This week Governor Mike Braun announced the launch of the Indiana Community Impact Accelerator. It’s actually part of a re-launch of the Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) started last year. The entire program includes a $1.25 billion investment in community improvement efforts. $250 million of that is from a Lilly Endowment grant.
“Through READI, Indiana communities statewide are breaking ground and cutting the ribbon on downtown expansions, innovation districts, parks and trails, community amenities and so much more,” said Braun. “With this new Accelerator, we will help even more communities strategically plan and bring to life priority projects that support Hoosiers and ensure READI’s impact on our state for years to come.”…
