LaGrange County Economic Development Plan



LaGrange County hired SDG to assist with the development of a comprehensive economic development plan. The strategies will be shaped by a community vision for economic growth and driven by detailed steps for completion for each objective. Hannum, Wagle and Cline Engineering (HWC) will be partnering on the project and completing a review of current business sites in the county.

When completed, the economic development plan will include:

  • A vision of the community’s economic future
  • A set of prioritized goals and objectives
  • Action plans showing responsibilities, time schedules, benchmarks, and potential funding sources where appropriate
  • Individual task and organizational work plans for groups responsible for specific steps in action plans
  • A review of current sites in the community with special attent to infrastructure and thoroughfares
  • An appendix fully documenting the planning process, various sources and types of input
  • A schedule and process for plan revision and updating
