Radius Indiana Holds Economic Education Session for Southern Indiana Finance Community

BEDFORD, Ind. (August 28, 2017) — Radius Indiana held the region’s first economic development incentive seminar for area accountants and financial managers Aug. 22 at French Lick Resort.

Radius organized the event to raise awareness about incentives that are available in the region, and from the state of Indiana, that can help local businesses looking to grow their company or expand operations.

“Supporting growth for our existing businesses is one of the most important focus areas for Radius Indiana; it’s an important partnership with local economic development leaders,” said Radius Indiana President and CEO Jeff Quyle. “I believe this education session for local CPAs provided great information for our attendees and will help existing and new businesses better utilize some of the great incentives we have available.”

Presenters provided information on a variety of topics to 20 attendees from regional firms and economic development organizations, which will add to the financial tools businesses and their advisers can use for planning. The session included:

• Susan Vaughn from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation covered state incentives such as the Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) Tax Credit and the Hoosier Business Investment (HBI) Tax Credit, which support job creation and capital investment.

• David Umbleby, from Krieg Devault, shared information on New Market Tax Credits, which offer tax incentives on private investments in many Radius communities to fuel community development and economic growth.

• Misty McCammack from Duke Energy and Harold Gutzwiller from Hoosier Energy offered a utility perspective for the group and explained Economic Development Riders, which can provide discounts and savings for relocating or expanding businesses.

• Jeff Quyle rounded out the program with an overview of the Regional Impact Fund (RIF). The RIF is a fund dedicated solely to economic development projects in the Radius eight-county region, and is the only deal-closing fund in Indiana.

Debra S. Deckard, certified public accountant and partner at Bedford-based Turpen & Deckard, who participated in the session added, “The Radius session at French Lick was a great opportunity for local CPAs to connect with their peers while gaining valuable information about regional programs, tax incentives, new market credits, and energy programs to better serve their clients.”

IEDA Brings Site Selector Conference to Radius Indiana Region

BEDFORD, Ind. (August 21, 2017) – Radius Indiana served as the host sponsor for the 2017 Indiana Economic Development Association’s Site Consultant Event at the French Lick Resort, Aug. 16-18.

IEDA created the site consultant event in 2012 as a way for its statewide membership to connect with site selectors. This year’s conference in the Radius region marks the first time the annual event has been held outside of Indianapolis.

“Traditionally our members have to travel around the country to different conferences to meet with site selectors, said Lee Lewellen, CEO of IEDA. “This event gives us an opportunity to provide an unvarnished view of Indiana as well as learn from site selectors what they are looking for. We can then translate what we learn into actionable items for communities, business leaders and legislators.”

More than 100 business leaders, elected officials and economic development professionals from across Indiana gathered to hear from 10 national site selectors about how businesses choose locations for relocation and expansion, and what cities and counties can do to best position themselves for growth.

The two-day conference included multiple sessions from the visiting site selectors on topics from workforce to technology and manufacturing investment to site preparedness as well as presentations from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Indiana Office of Defense Development, and the Indiana Department of Transportation.

“This conference was very beneficial by giving perspective on new trends and data related to advanced manufacturing and location requirements. The diverse group of presenters made for a very informative session, and I look forward to taking this information back to my community to help us as we plan approaches to attract new business, said Justin Green, Salem City Council and Radius Indiana Board member.

As the eight-county economic development partnership for the region, Radius Indiana advocated to bring the conference to the area, and applauds the IEDA for its willingness to move to a new location this year.

“Radius, along with our local economic development organizations, travel to cities around the country to educate site selectors and business advisers on the advantages of doing business in our region. Bringing this event to southern Indiana was a tremendous opportunity for everyone to see for themselves what our area has to offer,” said Radius Indiana President and CEO Jeff Quyle.

Radius Indiana Begins Tracking Tourism Impact for Region

BEDFORD, Ind. (August 02, 2017) — Radius Indiana released today its first findings from the Radius Tourism Index (RTI). The index shows that the Radius region is outpacing other areas of the state in the overall vitality of the tourism industry sector.

Radius Indiana developed the RTI as part of a series of three indices, which also include manufacturing and small business, to provide the organization with analytic tools that monitor the strength of the regional economy in southern Indiana.

Radius used data from a previously published report from Rockport Analytics, a study commissioned by the Indiana Office of Tourism Development and Radius, along with other economic factors to create a baseline for the region’s tourism industry. The index tracks changes to key economic indicators including tourism jobs, wages, spending, tax receipts and overall economic impact, and compares them to the same data for the state of Indiana as a whole.

The RTI gives the region an initial score of 61.3 for the positive changes to the key economic indicators over a two-year period. The most significant change noted was a 13 percent increase in tourism spending for Radius, and the score was bolstered by double digit increases in tourism jobs and tax receipts. The state of Indiana as a whole also showed increases in all the key indicators, but less so than the Radius region, resulting in a score of 38.1.

“The Rockport report gave us a complete snapshot of regional tourism and now the Radius Tourism Index gives us a good tool to begin tracking its growth,” said Kevin Manley, executive director of the Dubois County Visitors Center and Tourism Commission and chairman of the Radius Indiana Tourism Development Advisory Council.

As the 7th largest industry in the region, tourism accounts for nearly 5,000 jobs Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Lawrence, Martin, Orange and Washington counties. Radius will continue to track tourism data to keep area stakeholders informed on how the industry changes over time.

“From Rockport we learned that annual visitor spending totals $271 million for our region and has an economic impact of $198 million for our eight counties—monitoring this industry from year to year is vital to our understanding of the area’s economic health and this very important economic sector,” said Jeff Quyle, president and CEO of Radius Indiana.

Radius Indiana’s Economic Outreach Heads to Seattle

BEDFORD, Ind. (July 17, 2017) – Radius Indiana traveled to Seattle last week with an Indiana delegation led by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation to meet with site selectors and business advisers.

This was the first trip for the IEDC and Radius Indiana to Seattle in an effort to raise awareness about the Hoosier state. For Radius, the visit adds to a series of economic development trips that it has conducted for 2017, and continues on the successful outreach program the organization began in 2016.

Jeff Quyle, Radius Indiana president and CEO joined Elaine Bedel, IEDC president, along with IEDC staffers, utility representatives, and other Indiana Regional Economic Development Organizations to share the advantages of doing business in the state.

During the two-day visit, Quyle shared information about the Radius region’s assets, its logistical advantages, and interstate connectivity as well as developments in the region, particularly the new partnership involving Purdue University and WestGate@Crane Technology Park.

“This trip gave us exposure to the high-tech industry sector that Seattle is known for, which is not as common in our region. I also met with a company that has an interest in possibly expanding in the Radius region,” said Quyle. “I applaud IEDC for leading the trip and inviting regional economic development groups to participate. Our partnership with IEDC is invaluable as we work to move the region forward.”

Radius Indiana will partner with the IEDC and Local Economic Development Organizations from the region’s respective counties for future visits in Indiana and other states across the country. Ensuring that decision makers know about the area’s offerings is a primary focus for Radius Indiana, the regional partnership representing Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Lawrence, Martin, Orange, and Washington Counties.

Radius Indiana Teams with South Central Indiana for Economic Outreach

BEDFORD, Ind. (June 28, 2017) — Radius Indiana partnered with South Central Indiana Economic Development to share insights about their respective southern Indiana regions as co-hosts of an educational session for 10 site selectors and business advisers in downtown Louisville this week.

The event marks the first joint economic outreach effort by the two organizations, representing a total of 17 southern Indiana counties.

The session is part of Radius Indiana’s 2017 outreach program to raise awareness about the business strengths and opportunities in the region. The leaders from Radius Indiana and SCIED introduced the regions to their southern neighbors, showcasing the benefits of doing business in the regions, as well as the available sites, demographics and the quality of the workforce that powers existing businesses.

Rollie Helmling, senior vice president of Business Development for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation served as the guest speaker for the session and shared the factors that give Indiana the ranking as the No. 1 state in the Midwest for business.

Representatives from 12 of the regions’ Local Economic Development Organizations joined Radius President Jeff Quyle and SCIED President Darrell Voelker for the event. Utility partners to both regional groups, Duke Energy, Hoosier Energy and IMPA, helped sponsor the event.

“This was a great endeavor on behalf of both of our regions,” said Voelker. “We know that a new development in either of our areas can have a significant effect on our neighboring counties. We share resources, workforce and infrastructure with many of the Radius counties and any opportunity we have to work together only strengthens our ability to attract and grow business.”

Ron Arnold, Executive Director of Daviess County Economic Development Corporation attended the session and commented on the effectiveness of convening as a region, “Bringing together multiple site selectors and counties in one room allows us to make multiple contacts in a very short amount of time. It is an efficient use of our time and resources and puts Daviess County top of mind for the site selectors.”

The Louisville event is the latest in a series of visits for Radius Indiana. The outreach
efforts this year have connected Radius communities with business advisers and site
consultants in Cleveland, Greenville, S.C. and Chicago, with six more trips planned to target cities during the remainder of 2017.

“We are continually looking for opportunities to share our region with business leaders who help national and global companies make decisions about where to locate or expand their businesses,” said Quyle. “It is in the true spirit of regionalism that Radius and SCIED Group came together for this effort. We have diverse assets, but a common mission—to grow the economy in southern Indiana.

Representing Crawford County, County Council Member Steve Bartels added, ”Crawford County has made important pro-business moves recently and we are poised to grow. Our county has developed a public-private partnership corporation, streamlined our abatement process to a single page of paperwork, and engaged in the Duke Energy site readiness program, all in the past couple of weeks, and I am excited to be able to get the word out.”

Small Business Gets a “Checkup” in the Radius Region

BEDFORD, Ind. (June 20, 2017) – Radius Indiana released today the first findings from the Radius Small Business Index (SBI). The index shows that while rural communities in Indiana generally have a less favorable business climate than urban counties, the counties in the Radius region have held their own, even while lagging in some categories of statistics.
Radius Indiana developed the Radius SBI as part of a series of three indices, which also include manufacturing and tourism, to provide the organization with analytic tools that monitor several facets to gauge the strength of the regional economy in southern Indiana.
Statistics reveal that while some economic factors impact urban and rural communities in similar ways, smaller population centers, and subsequently a lower number of potential consumers, present specific challenges for rural areas.
“Our Radius Small Business Index gives us a good benchmark to begin tracking the growth of this important business sector in our region,” said Radius Indiana President and CEO Jeff Quyle. “Last year the Indiana Small Business Development Center reported that the Radius region is home to nearly 9,000 small businesses-that number represents a significant part of our local economy. While we know there are challenges for rural communities, we also know that our area is committed to helping our small businesses succeed.”
The Radius SBI looks at a collection of 13 statistics for the eight counties of Radius, and compares the result to 70 other counties in Indiana that are considered “rural.” The relevant statistics measure the numbers of small business in a community, their revenues, innovation (measured as a leading indicator of potential new small business births), employment, and earnings from the latest complete year of data, 2015.
The index also includes a comparison to the statistics for all 92 counties in Indiana, a benchmark number that is skewed by the inclusion of such urban counties as Allen, Vanderburgh, Marion, and Lake, among others.
The Radius region has an index ranking of 39.41, compared to a rural Indiana county benchmark of 52.59, and a total Indiana rank of 138.18. While the Radius SBI number and the rural Indiana index number are close to one another, the larger total Indiana index number reflects the urban impact of more small business establishments per county, greater receipts per establishment, and greater numbers of patents per county.
According to the statistics, the average number of patents issued in Radius counties is below the average for all Indiana rural counties, as well as below the overall 92-county average for the state. The disparity in numbers for the patent portion of the index accounted for 60 percent of the difference between the Radius region and the rest of rural Indiana.
As a result of compiling this index tool, Radius will begin to explore steps that can be taken to improve opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
“One step Radius is investigating is the development of a regional network to help aid entrepreneurs in the region,” said Quyle. “Radius will call together a collaborative group of local economic development leaders and others to explore formation of such a regional network.”

Radius Indiana’s Regional Economic Development Course Returns Next Spring

BEDFORD, Ind. (JUNE 20, 2017) – Radius Indiana announced today that its regional economic development course, Economic Development for Community Leadership Program, will return for a second run March 27-29, 2018 at the French Lick Resort.

The course’s registrants included mayors, council members, county commissioners, chamber of commerce leaders, tourism directors, economic development professionals and congressional staffers.

Radius Indiana’s vision is to help communities grow strong, working groups of local leaders versed in economic development who can affect policies and strategies for intentional business growth and skills-driven workforce development.
Executive Director of the Jasper Chamber of Commerce and Jasper City Council member Nancy Eckerle, who was among this year’s attendees, added, ” This course was quite comprehensive regarding economic development. I also enjoyed getting to know many of the ED and community folks that attended. It was great to hear what other communities are doing – and how they are accomplishing growth and development. Radius did a great job of choosing speakers, consultants and examples for the area communities to learn ways to network and connect on these important topics and issues.”
Formal registration will open up later this year, but Radius anticipates that the course will fill up quickly and encourages those interested in being added to next year’s roster to contact the Radius Indiana office at 812-277-9778.

Radius Indiana Shares The Region With Cleveland

BEDFORD, Ind. (June 6, 2017) – Radius Indiana and a representative from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation traveled to Cleveland last week to meet with site selectors and share the advantages of doing business in the Radius region. The organization is continuing its successful outreach program that began last year.
This is the third visit in a series of about 10 economic development trips that Radius has planned for 2017, and the second trip for Radius to Cleveland. Ensuring that decision makers know about the area’s offerings is a primary focus for Radius Indiana, the regional partnership representing Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Lawrence, Martin, Orange, and Washington Counties.
IEDC Regional Director Trevor Lane joined Radius Indiana President and CEO Jeff Quyle on the visit to meet with several site selectors who work with a variety of clients, including many that are part of the food manufacturing industry. The site selectors report a good deal of projects coming through the pipeline, but caution that many companies are being cautious as they await possible changes in federal tax regulation and other business operating factors.
Quyle and Lane learned that while the site selectors had familiarity with Southern Indiana, many did not know the Radius Indiana region specifically. The pair took the opportunity to discuss the region’s competitive advantages including the I-69 corridor, Naval Support Activity Crane and New Market Tax Credit eligibility. They also explained the area’s pro-manufacturing culture with an emphasis on advanced manufacturing in counties like Dubois.
“The opportunity to share all our region has to offer has a positive impact on our economic development efforts. The site selectors were interested to learn about the skilled workforce at Crane and the region’s high concentration of STEM professionals. We were also able to put the region in context for them and highlight its proximity to other regional cities and just how connected we are with our interstate system,” said Quyle.
Radius Indiana will partner with the IEDC and Local Economic Development Organizations from the region’s respective counties for future visits in Indiana and other states across the country.

Radius Indiana Closes Out First Regional Economic Development Course

BEDFORD, Ind. (March 30, 2017) – Radius Indiana concluded its inaugural economic development course at French Lick Resort on Thursday afternoon, wrapping up three days of education, networking and skills building for community leaders from across Southern Indiana.
The Radius Indiana Economic Development for Community Leadership Program is the first course of its kind to be offered in the area. More than 40 people representing 14 Indiana counties gathered to hear from national and regional speakers teaching educational sessions on topics such as real estate development, business attraction, workforce, marketing, business finance and incentives, and entrepreneurship.
“Radius Indiana’s vision is to help communities grow strong, working groups of local leaders versed in economic development who can affect policies and strategies for intentional business growth and skills-driven workforce development,” said Radius Indiana President and CEO Jeff Quyle. “This first program has exceeded my expectations not only in number of participants, but in how engaged and enthusiastic our leaders are to put their new knowledge to work in their counties.”
The course’s registrants included mayors, council members, county commissioners, chamber of commerce leaders, tourism directors, economic development professionals and congressional staffers.
“Our county is in the process of reorganizing our economic development and redevelopment organizations and this program came at a perfect time for us. The classes have given me some new approaches to take back to share with my colleagues,” said Crawford County Commissioner Morton Dale. “I am especially excited to see this type of conference with this caliber of speakers offered right here in our region in Southern Indiana.”
Chad Sweeney of Fishers-based site selection firm Ginovus was one of the 15 speakers at the conference. Sweeney spoke to the group about business attraction and marketing to site selectors.
“It was great to be a part of this first economic development program from Radius,” said Sweeney. “These events are key to helping communities understand what companies are looking for during an expansion or relocation project. Those attending the program now have new tools and tactics to strengthen the way their respective cities and towns respond to economic opportunities, and those first impressions can make a big impact during the site selection process,” said Sweeney.
Other sessions and speakers included Introduction to Economic Development with Jim Plump, Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation; Real Estate/Site Development with Chelsey Manns, Manns Consulting; Business Retention and Expansion with Jason Hester, Greater Columbus Economic Development Corporation; Abatement/TIF/Incentives with Matt Eckerle, Umbaugh and Associates; and Entrepreneurship with Steve Bryant, Ivy Tech.
Corporate sponsors and tuition payments helped fund the program, including generous support from Duke Energy, Hoosier Energy, Vectren, Smithville Fiber, Springs Valley Bank & Trust, Krieg DeVault and the Indiana Municipal Power Agency.
Based on the high level of interest and the immediate positive feedback already coming in from participants, Radius Indiana expects to offer the program again in 2018. Those interested in being added to next year’s roster should contact the Radius Indiana office at 812-277-9778.
