2040 CRP Summary / Growth and Conservation URBAN FRAMEWORK STRATEGIES STRATEGY 6: WORK TOGETHER 26 Provide Technical Assistance to Incorporate the CRP into Local Plans The CRP is intended to serve as guidance for local plans and a means to encourage sound and informed planning decisions through the integration of local and regional priorities. But the recommendations of the CRP are not a substitute for, and will not supersede, local land-use planning. Just as local plans guided the development of the CRP, local contexts and decisions will influence how these recommendations are implemented. In 2007, NIRPC published the Sensible Tools Handbook for Indiana, a guidebook for local implementation of sensible growth principles. Secure Support from Washington, D.C. New federal funding streams are being made available to regions. These include grants for planning and infrastructure for which NIRPC is eligible to apply. NIRPC also is in a unique position to provide feedback to federal representatives. Coordination between local, regional and federal levels of government is essential to removing barriers to livable communities. Breaking ground on runway 12-30 at Gary/Chicago International Airport
South Shore Lakefront Redevelopment, Gary and East Chicago Provide Support for Regional Initiatives 27 Partner with the RDA: The Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) is a valuable partner with NIRPC in implementing infrastructure and reinvestment projects in Northwest Indiana. The RDA’s enabling legislation specified four project priorities, all of which overlap with NIRPC’s planning mission: • Expansion of the Gary/Chicago International Airport • Extension of the South Shore commuter rail system • Creation of a regionalized bus transit system • Restoration of the Lake Michigan shoreline Gary/Chicago International Airport Development: Northwest Indiana’s largest airport, the Gary/Chicago International Airport (GCIA), long has been a cornerstone for economic development in the region. The airport has commenced a threephase capital improvement program. When completed, GCIA will be a major commercial aviation center, similar in size to the Indianapolis International Airport. GCIA also presents opportunities for a multimodal passenger center and as the anchor of a logistics- and cargo-oriented district. Gary and Region Investment Project: The Gary and Region Investment Project (GRIP) is a multiyear revitalization initiative sponsored by The Times Media Co. as part of its One Region, One Vision initiative. This project, which includes technical assistance from the Metropolitan Planning Council, aims to bring together local community leaders, regional stakeholders, national experts and federal representatives to develop an investment strategy for Northwest Indiana’s urban core, primarily northern Lake County. It is seeking consensus around a set of major projects identified in previous plans.
