WHAT HAPPENED: The council passed a resolution adopting a preliminary Strategic Economic Development Plan for the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority.
WHAT IT MEANS: In 2020 Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed P.L.83-2020 (SEA 350) (the “Act”), which allows eligible political subdivisions located in the Indianapolis-Carmel- Anderson Metropolitan Statistical Area to create the Central Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA). The council is adopting a plan that includes provisions and general information. The plan states the RDA shall: assist in the coordination of local efforts concerning projects that are of regional importance; assist a county, a municipality, a commuter transportation district, an airport authority, and a regional transportation authority in coordinating regional transportation and economic development efforts and fund projects that are of regional importance.
