I-69 CORRIDOR STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR DELAWARE & GRANT COUNTIES
ECI is embarking upon a region-wide, multi-county planning effort to fully assess and independently validate the impact, need, and opportunity presented by I-69’s current condition. Additionally, ECI will assess the economic development potential of I-69 corridor modernization, while ensuring existing modernization approaches northbound from Hamilton County are expanded uniformly to the north through Delaware and Grant counties. The complete project will produce an economic impact analysis that will lead to the development of an actionable plan for the modernization of the I-69 corridor in East Central Indiana.
