Indiana’s third-largest city, Evansville, provides another strong regional development collaboration emerging from the state’s Regional Cities Initiative focused on Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick Counties. For the Indiana GPS Project, nearby Knox, Pike, Perry, and Spencer Counties were added to cover the whole state.
Where are we going?
The Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana is leading development efforts in much of the region, which serves as a regional hub for financial services, healthcare, and utilities as well as home to a number of large and significant manufacturers.
