CROWN POINT — The Board of Directors of the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) continued to focus on jobs and connectivity to Chicago by agreeing to consider funding a transit center in Valparaiso and approving three contracts with private firms that will create more than 400 jobs in Munster, Merrillville and Portage.
“All our initiatives are interrelated,” said RDA President and CEO Bill Hanna. “Whether it’s providing access to Chicago, bringing new companies to Northwest Indiana or building out our infrastructure to accommodate future growth, the goal is to grow the pool of high-paying jobs available to Northwest Indiana residents.”
