News

Local and regional leaders in West Central Indiana are set to break ground on the region’s first READI 2.0 project this Thursday, Oct. 3, marking the beginning of development for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s new entrepreneurial ecosystem, Innovation Grove.  

Governor Eric J. Holcomb established the now $1.25 billion READI program in 2021, and it has since been nationally recognized for its success. READI 2.0, which was part of the governor’s 2023 Next Level Agenda and approved by the Indiana General Assembly, allocates another $500 million to regions across the state to accelerate shovel-ready projects and programs that are expected to transform Indiana communities, attract talent and improve quality of life for Hoosiers in the short and long term. READI 2.0 funding allocations were awarded in April to 15 regions representing all 92 Indiana counties.
