Readi Funds Impacting Our Region

Through a collaborative process engaging leaders from across the region, the South Bend – Elkhart region was awarded the maximum amount of READI funds from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) – $50 million –in December 2021. In 2022, the Northern Indiana Regional Development Authority awarded funds to 18 Quality of Place and 11 programmatic projects. These allocations will have an impact reaching far beyond city limits or county lines.

One such project, the Tolson Center for Community Excellence in Elkhart County, received $2.6 million in READI funds. The Tolson Center represents the remarkable next chapter of a long-standing community center.
