The greater Lafayette region
The READI program is a cornerstone of our region’s growth strategy, attracting skilled talent, expanding affordable housing and revitalizing communities with high-tech solutions that build on the Greater Lafayette region’s natural and cultural strengths. Through strong collaboration between county governments, our Regional Development Plan guides these investments, positioning our region as an exceptional place to live, work, play and raise a family.

It also charts a path for strengthening visibility, collaboration, inclusivity and investment across our rural and urban communities. It’s a roadmap for using the arts in the Greater Lafayette READI Region to enrich quality of life, spark economic growth and bring people together.
