In addition to in-person events and
meetings, multiple marketing activities
and media were also used to notify the
public throughout the process. Project
leaders also utilized social media to
provide information, opportunities for
engagement and updates about the
process. The Facebook page “Regional
Cities of Northern Indiana” and Twitter
account “Regional Cities” were used to
keep stakeholders aware and engaged of
developments and opportunities available
through the initiative. MACOG developed
a website about the initiative, where the
project application form was posted for
public access [6] . Big Idea Company was
hired to develop videos, photography and

other communications (figure 3). Local
news coverage also provided updates and
information about the process (Exhibit A-6).
The project team anticipates continuing
this type of engagement during the plan
execution period in order to provide
updates to the public, at a minimum on
an annual basis; some updates may be
project-based and occur more frequently
as needed.
Innovate Indiana represents the region’s
shared vision, plan, foundational project
portfolio, and structure for transformative
growth over the next eight years.
