When beginning to form the new partnership among the Southwest Indiana Chamber, the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville, and the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana, we recognized that we have a bold vision for the future of our Region. The newly formed Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-REP) has established core Guiding Principles to inform this vision for our collective future; specifically, our commitment to make the Evansville region the location of choice for talent and business.
Over the next several months, we will explore how E-REP’s Guiding Principles are woven into both the plan of work that you have come to know and the opportunities before us to further strengthen our region and our shared future.
