A coalition of counties and communities along the I-74 corridor southeast of Indianapolis has submitted a $50 million funding request to the Indiana Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) program. Accelerate Rural Indiana says its request would support $866 million in projects and programs to build-up communities and workforce in the region.

The plan also calls for improved infrastructure, including broadband internet.
