A nine county region including communities such as Lafayette, Logansport and Crawfordsville, has formed a regional economic development organization. Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman announced the MidWest Indiana Economic Development organization this morning at Ivy Tech Community College's Lafayette campus. She says the counties will be able to pool resources to better sell the region to growing companies. WBAA in West Lafayette reports Skillman believes a regional approach is vital to the future of economic development in Indiana.
