As Indiana embraces the post-pandemic economic rebound, resilience is strengthened, and the pendulum is swinging in the right direction. The economy is back to pre-pandemic levels with pent-up consumer demand, new strategies for supply chains, and modernization that are now permanent extensions to new business models and cultures.

Economic developers stand at the hub of local efforts to grow their communities through business and workforce attraction, retaining and adding jobs, expanding the tax base, and working to reduce barriers to growth. At this time, economic development is more important than ever as we adjust to disruptive change and embrace emerging new opportunities.

The Indiana Economic Development Association members pledge to work alongside Indiana’s elected officials as partners to restore vibrancy and momentum to the Hoosier economy.
