Guidelines

Funding Priorities

The RDA's enabling statute outlines four priority areas: expansion of the Gary Chicago International Airport, creation of an integrated rail and bus surface transportation network, transit oriented development (TOD) and redevelopment of the Lake Michigan Shoreline.

Eligibility

Capital projects related to the Gary Chicago International Airport, bus and rail transportation, TOD and shoreline redevelopment are welcome. Requests for donations or charitable contributions may be meritorious, but due to the RDA's limited funding the Board feels that the priorities set by the General Assembly must take precedence.
