Unfortunately, Indiana remains a net out-migration state like many of its Midwestern neighbors. • Over the last decade, 80% of Indiana's population growth (6 M to 6.4 M) is attributable to the birth rate outpacing the death rate. • Talented people continue to move to Southern and Western states, which claimed 84% of the nation's population growth through the past decade. SUPPORTS REGIONAL OWNERSHIP OF THE FUTURE Indiana has built one of the best business climates in the country. Now is the time to take the same principles that made our state an economic powerhouse and apply them to building a quality of place that attracts and retains future generations of Hoosiers. • Inspiring regional collaboration—Communities across the state are looking beyond individual cities to capitalize on the verified economic benefits of regional collaboration to deliver a network of culture and amenities that attract and retain talent. • Encouraging regional development—The state is asking Indiana regions to develop vision and action plans that will propel them to achieve national reputations as one of the best places to live and work over the next ten years. • Partnering financially—The IEDC is supporting legislation that enables the state to be a financial partner with regions that develop compelling strategic plans, facilitating significant investment that transforms Indiana communities into destinations for talent. - •. u.. s ", e _.. 4 man .y ,. x t, ,` .7 . . refs 1:,:':1,...:-.: � t�_ ' � �rE, tea+° � � nt .'s }, �. s�t ,� per' .,,� S t . � :i ';,, : $ $.
