Posey County Strategic Economic Development Plan


Project Description:

Posey County hired SDG to assist with the development of a strategic 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 business site analysis and site improvement cost estimates.

When completed, the economic development plan will include:

  • A vision of the community’s economic future
  • A set of prioritized goals and objectives
  • An overall “roadmap” for each action plan 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
  • An assessment of the “shovel-ready” status of two industrial/business sites in the community with projected cost estimates for necessary improvements in infrastructure (The term shovel-ready refers to sites which can quickly accommodate a new business.)
  • An appendix fully documenting the planning process, various sources and types of input
  • A schedule and process for plan revision and updating
