The following have been identified as the prime sectors for job growth: 1. Transportation, Distribution and Logistics 2. Advanced Manufacturing 3. IT and Technology 4. Professional and Medical Services LIVABLE CENTERS Northwest Indiana will concentrate population and employment within existing communities following a “Livable Centers” principle. 83 percent of the region’s population and 93 percent of employment will be situated in livable centers to take advantage of existing infrastructure, services, facilities and amenities. REVITALIZATION Northwest Indiana will focus on revitalization of the region’s core communities, which include Gary, Hammond, East Chicago and Michigan City, to make efficient use of resources and to capitalize on existing infrastructure and assets.
3 MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION To encourage livability and accessibility, Northwest Indiana will create a strong multimodal transit network. This network will connect the region’s major centers, provide access to jobs and improve our quality of life through strategies that increase travel choice and reduce vehicle congestion. PARTNERSHIPS Northwest Indiana will utilize the region’s educational and institutional organizations for investments in job and capital programs supportive of the CRP Vision. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Our residents and employers will embrace our responsibilities as stewards of our natural resources and will seize opportunities to build a green infrastructure network.
