The Indiana Economic Development Corporation launched READI in 2021 with $500 million in state appropriations to coordinate strategic investments to bring talent and economic growth to every region in the Hoosier state. Thanks to public, private, and nonprofit partners, that original investment has been leveraged to more than $12.6 billion for Indiana communities. Another $500 will be allocated as part of READI 2.0, focusing on quality of life, place, and opportunities. In this episode, we speak with Jim Rawlinson, director of READI, and Heidi Young, senior program manager, about how READI is driving economic development in every region of Indiana and what Kentucky can learn from its neighbor.
