NIRPC Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan
An Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan (ER&R) was completed in September 2022 by TIP Strategies of Austin, Texas after a ten-month planning process led by a 20-member Steering Committee. The ER&R Plan was funded by a CARES Act grant awarded to NIRPC in 2020 by the Economic Development Administration. The purpose of NIRPC’s ER&R Plan is to address recovery actions needed in the short term after an economic disruption occurs to return the economy in Lake Porter and LaPorte counties to its previous condition and to address how to build a future resilient regional economy. Resilience is a longer-term process that builds a strong economy that can withstand or even avoid future catastrophic economic events. The Action Plan portion of the ER&R Plan includes strategies and actions for recovery and resiliency.
