INDIANA DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES DESTINATION DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMAKING GRANTS

# data[].attributes.body
INDIANAPOLIS (Oct. 18, 2024) – The Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) announced the opening of two grants – the Indiana Destination Development Grant and IN Indiana Placemaking Activation Grant.

“These initiatives offer a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with local communities to enhance our state in meaningful ways,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Indiana's Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Our focus remains on highlighting our state's rich culture and character and we are proud to be part of the ongoing goal to invite more people to experience it for themselves.”

The IN Indiana Placemaking Activation Grant seeks to create community activations of the IN Indiana identifier throughout the state of Indiana. This grant kickstarts creating "Instagrammable" experiences in high-visibility areas of Indiana and adds beauty to Indiana's rural, urban and suburban landscapes. This is a matching grant of up to $25,000 to fund signage and placemaking efforts. IDDC will allocate up to $100,000 for this program with total expenditure based on the quality of applications received.

The Indiana Destination Development Grant seeks to fund high-impact projects that raise Indiana’s capacity for attracting visitors and providing new and unique tourism experiences, while enhancing the quality of life for residents. This grant helps to enhance and create new tourism assets that will attract out-of-state visitors while fostering industry collaboration. This is a matching grant of between $50,000 and $250,000. IDDC will allocate $250,000 for this program.

The IDDC is now accepting applications for both grants and the deadline to submit is Feb. 7, 2025, at 4 p.m. ET. All entities are eligible to apply for the Indiana Destination Development Grant. Entities eligible to apply for the IN Indiana Placemaking Grant are limited to municipalities, counties, communities, destination marketing organizations, Mainstreet organizations and chambers of commerce.

"Sharing Indiana's authentic story continues to be at the heart of our mission,” said IDDC Secretary and CEO Elaine Bedel. “Innovative projects across the state are key in developing our communities and attractions. We are proud to invite visitors to Indiana and amplify this invitation through supporting creative projects that catch the eye of our visitors and bring smiles to residents alike.”

Stellar Pathways Program

2024

In January 2024, OCRA launched the improved Stellar Pathways Program, building off of previous reiterations of the Stellar Communities Program. The Stellar Pathways Program is a multi-agency, multi-million-dollar investment initiative led by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

The program works with communities within a county boundary on a shared vision for community and economic development, promotes local and regional partnerships, and assists in implementing sustainable solutions to challenges facing Indiana's rural communities. The Stellar Pathways will provide resources for transformative quality of place, community, and regional improvements by:

Enhancing Regional Planning
Stellar Pathways, built on OCRA's extensive experience with Stellar Communities, Regional Stellar, and the Hoosier Enduring Legacy Program, is focused on accelerating regional planning. The program is designed to scale up local capacity while regional teams create holistic, collaborative plans for community and economic development.

A Collaborative Approach
The Stellar Pathways program embodies a spirit of collaboration, mirrored by State partners: the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority, Indiana Destination Development Corporation, Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana Department of Health, and Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Resource-Rich Partnerships
Through these strategic partnerships, Stellar Pathways is poised to offer the necessary resources for transformative quality-of-place improvements. Participants will tap into time-tested community development strategies by leveraging existing assets to stimulate increased regional investment through state and local partnerships.

Any incorporated Indiana community of any size that are not entitled to direct Community Development Block Grant funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development are eligible to apply in partnership with either a County Government or a non-profit County leader such as a community foundation or an economic development agency.
Additionally, OCRA & Stellar Pathway partners will host three two-day workshops on February 15-16, February 22-23, March 4-5.

The Institute for Workforce Excellence is hosting a free webinar for employers to learn more about the Institute's Work and Learn Indiana program - specifically, how to create quality work-based learning opportunities and take advantage of EARN Indiana funding. Work and Learn Indiana has partnered with the Indiana Commission for Higher Education since 2013 to offer employers a 50% wage reimbursement for work-based learning experiences. In 2019, the program expanded to include high school students.

The Employment Aid Readiness Network (EARN) Indiana program is available to employers that offer high-quality work-based learning experiences and hire an eligible Indiana high school or college student. Employers can be reimbursed up to 50% of the student's wages for a qualifying experience and can receive up to $30,000 per fiscal year!

In this workshop, the Institute's team will walk attendees through connecting to the Work and Learn Indiana platform, posting internships, connecting with students and receiving EARN wage reimbursement.

We will also address questions surrounding hiring high school students for work-based learning. The Institute for Workforce Excellence in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Education has been working with AHEAD Human Resources to address employer questions related to work-based learning workers' compensation and liability.

During the 2022 session of the Indiana General Assembly, the legislature passed legislation (House Enrolled Act 1094) seeking to procure a vendor, either through contract or MOU, who can assist employers in mitigating the liability concerns. We have elected to partner with AHEAD Human Resources as part of this effort. More information will be shared during our conversation in February!

Request For Proposals/Scope of Work BEST PRACTICES STUDY IN TALENT ATTRACTION

# data[].attributes.body
The Indiana Economic Development Association Foundation (IEDAF) in partnership with the Indiana Economic Development Association (IEDA) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to complete a nationwide search to identify and document in the form of a Study any “Best Practices” for attracting talent to States, regions, and local communities resulting in increased population and workforce availability. Interested firms must demonstrate knowledge and experience in strategic planning, marketing, creativity, and innovation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Indiana Economic Development Association Foundation (IEDAF) in partnership with the Indiana Economic Development Association (IEDA) is seeking proposals from qualified firms to complete a nationwide search to identify and document in the form of a Study any "Best Practices" for attracting talent to States, regions, and local communities resulting in increased population and workforce availability. Interested firms must demonstrate knowledge and experience in strategic planning, marketing, creativity, and innovation.

Background:

Criteria used to evaluate communities across the US for company expansion or relocation has significantly changed over the past couple of decades. What was a very basic question of "do you have availability of land and incentives", is now overshadowed by a more complex evaluation and determination that involves several critical issues. One of those critical issues that continues to move to the top of the evaluation list is the availability of talent and workforce to fill not only current jobs but those forecasted in the future. Indiana has implemented several key initiatives to attract talent to the State, however, more needs to be done. Through completion of this Study, the IEDAF hopes to identify, duplicate, or modify other State's successful initiatives to attract talent with a specific section of the Study focused on initiatives, policies, and programs implemented to create affordable childcare opportunities for the workforce.

Scope of Work for Development of the Strategy

Working with the members of the IDEAF and the IEDA, the selected firm would.

1. Identify specific goals, tasks, objectives for inclusion in the Study:

a. With respect to childcare, this section of the Study would require examples of programs and policies implemented to; (1) increase the availability childcare providers through education and certification programs; (2) efforts to increase pay levels for certified providers; (3) State and local programs to reduce the overall cost of childcare to the workforce; (4) programs to encourage the consolidation of childcare providers under a central administration resulting in reduced costs to the workforce; (5) any other programs or policies to include employer cost sharing that benefits the workforce resulting in increased talent attraction.

2. Identify existing initiatives, if known, to be further explored and included in the Study both inside or outside Indiana.

3. For each Best Practice identified include any documentation about the initiative to include but not limited to, source of funding, annual costs, point of contact (if appropriate), etc.

4. Establish and confirm a timeline for completion of the Study

5. Based on the timeline, established an agreed upon number of updates on the Study's progress.

Consultants should feel free to add into their proposals additional measures that should be incorporated into the final Scope of Work to improve the overall process and result based on their experience and best practices.

PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:

The IEDAF requires consultant's proposal to include as a minimum.

A Statement of Qualifications specific to the objectives identified for the development of this Study

A proposed plan of work describing how the consultant would suggest completing the requested services

A proposed work schedule including timetables for completion of the Study.

A description of the consultant's organization and resumes of the key staff assigned to this project

A proposed cost for completion of the Study

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Prospective consultants should submit an electronic copy of their proposal package to Lee Lewellen, IEDA Foundation CEO at llewellen@ieda.org. The deadline for receipt of the proposals and all related materials is July 21, 2023 at 4:30 pm (EST). Questions concerning this Request for Proposals, or its submission requirements should be directed to Lee Lewellen at 317-313-8365 or llewellen@ieda.org. The Indiana Economic Development Association Foundation reserves the right to reject any and all proposals.
