EDC of Southwest IN

The Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana acts as the marketing umbrella for economic development organization for Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick Counties and the City of Evansville in Indiana's Great Southwest. The Coalition facilitates and coordinates business retention, expansion and attraction activities; and, supports efforts to enhance the business climate through regional capacity building. Since 2007, the Coalition in addition to securing 4,213 jobs and over $3.2 billion in investment, has helped our communities secure $116 million in grants for such things as expansion of water and sewer systems; building new community centers; and, making improvements to the region's levee system, which protects thousands of acres. These investments are the key to having the infrastructure and quality of life necessary to keep attracting companies to our region. Talent is a primary driver in Indiana's Great Southwest. In December of 2015, the State of Indiana named the region one of three Regional Cities awarding it with $42M for talent-attracting projects.
