Northwest Indiana communities growing together.
Integrating transportation and land use to improve mobility and job accessibility. Building a foundation for economic, environmental, and community resilience.
PROJECT UPDATES
TDD Boundaries studies are underway for Valparaiso, South Bend, and Beverly Shores/Pines.
The Role of the RDA | As the RDA helps communities create more attractive, secure neighborhoods, it enables these communities to compete for the young people that work in Chicago, and to make themselves more attractive for businesses and professionals who will work in Indiana.
