INDIANA — Six regions were named as finalists for the 2018 Stellar Communities Program. Launched in 2011, the Stellar Communities Program is a multi-year, multi-million dollar investment initiative led by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs.
Health and Heritage Region, comprised of the city of Greenfield and the town of Fortville and the Mt. Comfort Road Corridor, comprised of the towns of Cumberland, McCordsville and New Palestine were included in the list.
As finalists, regions will receive a planning grant to build upon their regional plans. Each region will begin working with Ball State University’s Indiana Communities Institute to discuss project alignment and continued planning efforts. Final designees are selected at the end of the year.
Through the annual designation, the Stellar Communities program provides resources for transformative quality of place community improvements by utilizing previous planning efforts, leveraging existing assets, fostering regional investments and stimulating continued growth.
