The Northern Indiana Regional Development Authority has submitted its application for READI 2.0 funds to the Indiana Economic Development Corp. on behalf of the South Bend – Elkhart region, consisting of Elkhart, Marshall, and St. Joseph counties.

The group is pursuing the maximum $75 million allotment in READI funds.

Their plan for the money is projected to generate over $2 billion in direct economic activity over the next six years for the region.

The IEDC is expected to announce regional recipients in April.
