READI 2.0 Memorandum of Understanding

READI 2.0 is the second round of the State’s Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative. The initiative will provide an additional $500 million in grants to support projects throughout the state. The County has joined the Greater Lafayette Region for READI 2.0 since the READI 1.0 regional group known as the 180 Alliance is not a region for READI 2.0. The members of the Greater Lafayette Region include the Counties of Benton, Carroll, Fountain, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Warren and White; the Cities of Attica, Covington, Crawfordsville, Delphi, Lafayette, Monticello and West Lafayette; Purdue University, Ivy Tech- Lafayette and Wabash College.

The attached MOU outlines the structure for the government and administration of the Greater Lafayette Region for READI 2.0. The Region will be governed by a Regional Board of Representatives (RBOR) consisting of representatives from each participating entity as well as the CEO of Greater Lafayette Commerce. The Greater Lafayette Commerce Community and Economic Development Foundation will serve as the fiscal agent. A regional working group of representatives from the participating entities will be responsible for drafting the multi-year comprehensive strategic plan. The RBOR will elect a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer. The MOU also states that administrative expenses may be funded through the State grant. Finally, the MOU identifies the CEO of the Greater Lafayette Commerce as the primary point of contact for the Board to coordinate and communicate with the State.

READI 2.0 Board Appointment

The County has joined the Greater Lafayette Region for READI 2.0.

As part of the Readi 2.0 agreement for the Greater Lafayette Region, the Region will be governed by a Regional Board of Representatives (RBOR) with representation from each participating organization.

For the County, two representatives serve on the RBOR. The Commissioners appoint one representative who is either a member of the Board of County Commissioners or a member of the County Council. The second representative is the Economic Development Director. The duties of the Economic Development Director have been assigned to the County Administrator and therefore the County Administrator serves on the RBOR. The Commissioners will need to make the other appointment of either a County Commissioner or County Council member to serve on the RBOR.
