East Central Indiana is getting its chance to be recognized as a “talent region” by the state of Indiana. The distinction comes with promises by local leaders to find ways to attract and keep talented workers.
Among the goals of the state’s newest talent region – the counties of Delaware, Grant, Henry, Jay, Randolph, Rush, and Wayne – is to get people to stay in those counties to live and work. The region has lost population for years. Now dozens of organizations working on a collaborative plan want to reverse that trend by the year 2030.
