EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority Board wants to stimulate and give direction to ongoing discussion about how to make the most of the region's existing assets and nurture development of the new assets needed to achieve continuous improvement. Accordingly, it appointed a 15-member Strategy Development Team to develop a plan that will guide a coordinated endeavor to assess, manage, and improve the region's economy.

The Strategy Development Team's work product is this Plan for Prosperity, Growth and Inclusion, Version 1.0 (the "Plan"), which provides a set of goals and strategies for which—with further research and deliberation—actionable initiatives will be able to be executed. The Strategy Development Team included "Version 1.0" in the title because we intend the Plan to begin an evolving process that will yield additional versions, each of which becomes both more robust and more precisely calibrated to the structure of Northcentral Indiana's economy

The Strategy Development Team performed a Situation Analysis to evaluate Northcentral Indiana's performance in the measures of economic well-being we consider most important: prosperity, growth, and inclusion. We evaluated how our region is doing and how it compares to the performance of five benchmark regions. Because structural factors drive performance, we also analyzed the key structural characteristics of our region's economy and compared them to those of the benchmark regions.

We recommend Programs for Improvement based on our Situation Analysis findings, specifying Goals, Strategies, and expected Outcomes for the region. We suggest for further research and deliberation actionable initiatives—Activities—to implement each Strategy, the Resources that might be used to support those Activities, and Output indicators to measure the success of the Activities.

We also recommend that a regional economic development body will be needed to implement the Programs for Improvement. We outline the functions of such a body and suggest funding models that could be used to support its operation.

Situation Analysis Findings

Economic Performance

The Strategy Development Team measured economic performance in terms of the factors we believe matter most to prosperity, growth, and inclusion. Accordingly, our evaluation of Northcentral Indiana's economic performance is based on the measures, and comparisons to selected Benchmark Metropolitan Areas (Appleton, WI Metropolitan Area; Cedar Rapids, IA Metropolitan Area; Lancaster, PA Metropolitan Area; Wichita, KS Metropolitan Area; and York, PA Metropolitan Area),1 described below.

1 See Appendix A for an explanation of how the Strategy Development Team selected these Benchmark Regions

Prosperity

We measured Prosperity as the level of income produced by the regional economy on a per capita, per worker, and per proprietor basis because higher personal income leads to an increased demand for goods and services, resulting in greater employment, investment, and production within the region. We also included poverty rate because it reflects how well the benefits of personal income are spread through the population.

Northcentral Indiana's:

Per Capita Personal Income is $5,241 (11.9%) below the Benchmark MSAs' average;

Employee Compensation Per Worker is $2,981 (5.2%) below the Benchmark MSAs' average;

Average Nonfarm Proprietor's Net Income is $5,638 (17.8%) above the Benchmark MSAs' average; and

Poverty Rate (16.7%) is more than 1½ times the Benchmark MSAs' average.

Growth

We measured Growth by the increases over time in employment and productivity because these increases ultimately improve the economic well-being of those who live in the region. We used as measures of employment performance the Employment-Growth To Population-Growth Ratio, Prime-Age Employment Ratio, and the Compound Annual Rate Of Workforce Growth. We also included net migration as a measure of Growth because the region's labor supply can be increased through net in-migration of workers from outside the region or decreased by net out-migration of workers to other regions. We used as our measure of productivity performance the compound annual rate at which Gross Domestic Product per worker has increased.

Northcentral Indiana's:

Employment-Growth-to-Population-Growth Ratio 2004 through 2014 was negative and 1.13 points lower than the Benchmark MSAs' average,

Prime-Age Employment Ratio is 4.4 points below the Benchmark MSAs' average,

Compound Annual Growth Rate of Northcentral Indiana's workforce 2010 through 2014 was negative and .84 points below the Benchmark MSAs' average,

Net Migration 2010 through 2014 was more negative than all but one of the Benchmark MSAs, and

Compound Annual Growth Rate of Real GDP Per Worker 2004 through 2014 was more than double the Benchmark MSAs' average.

Inclusion

The Strategy Development Team focused on racial and ethnic inclusion, in particular as it relates to the availability of economic opportunity to persons of African-American race and Hispanic ethnicity. Accordingly, we measured Inclusion by: (a) the ratio of the African-American race population Unemployment Rate to the total population Unemployment Rate, (b) the ratio

DRAFT 2016-08-05

Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority

3

of the Hispanic ethnicity population Unemployment Rate to the total population Unemployment, (c) the percentage of businesses that are minority-owned, and (d) the ratio of the average number employed by minority-owned business firms with paid employees to the average number employed by nonminority-owned business firms with paid employees.

Northcentral Indiana's:

ratio of the African-American race population Unemployment Rate to the total population Unemployment Rate is two points better than the Benchmark MSAs' average, but its African-American Unemployment Rate is more than double the total population Unemployment Rate,

ratio of the Hispanic ethnicity population Unemployment Rate to the total population Unemployment Rate is 12 points worse than the Benchmark MSAs' average, and its Hispanic Unemployment Rate in our region is more than 1½ times the total population Unemployment Rate,

percentage of businesses that are minority-owned is more than 1½ times the Benchmark MSAs' average,

ratio of the average number employed by minority-owned businesses with paid employees to the average number employed by nonminority-owned businesses with paid employees is more than 1½ times the Benchmark MSAs' average.

Economic Structural Factors

The structural factors that most directly drive economic performance are the distribution of employment by industry, the distribution of employment by occupation, and human capital. Accordingly, our evaluation of Northcentral Indiana's economic structural factors is based on the measures, and comparisons to selected Benchmark MSAs, described below.

Employment by Industry Cluster

The Strategy Development Team analyzed the distribution of employment by industry in terms of Industry Clusters—groups of industries closely related by skill, technology, supply, demand, and other linkages—defined by The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project.2

Industry Clusters are either Traded Clusters or Local Clusters. A Traded Cluster is composed of traded industries, which are concentrated in a geographic region and sell to other regions and nations. A Local Cluster is composed of local industries, which primarily sell locally and tend to grow as local population grows.

Northcentral Indiana's employment distribution by Traded and Local Clusters is detailed by number, percentage, and Location Quotient3 in Appendix B, Table B-2. Employment is equally split between Traded Industry Clusters and Local Industry Clusters.

2 The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project (http://www.clustermapping.us) is a national economic initiative led by Harvard Business School's Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Economic Development Administration. 3 A Location Quotient (LQ) is the ratio of an industry’s share of total employment in a location relative to its share of total national employment. The LQ measures the specialization or concentration of a cluster in a

DRAFT 2016-08-05

We focused on Traded Clusters because a region grows by exporting goods and services it produces to elsewhere, thus bringing income into the region. That new income then further increases the region's income as a portion of it is spent on local goods and services (the multiplier effect).

Northcentral Indiana's:

top two Traded Industry Clusters by employment —"Trailers, Motor Homes, and Appliances" and "Education and Knowledge Creation" account for 32.7% of all Traded Industry Cluster employment; and

ten largest Traded Industry Clusters by employment account for 73% of all Traded Industry Cluster employment, and the average annual pay of three is less than the approximately $39,000 average annual pay for all Traded Industry Clusters.

Employment Distribution by Occupation

The Strategy Development Team analyzed the occupation structure of Northcentral Indiana using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics, which provides data for over 800 Standard Occupational Classifications (based on the nature of the work performed and the skills required) for non-governmental occupations in 23 Major Occupation Groups.

In Northcentral Indiana:

The Major Occupations Group "Production" accounts for 21.85% of employment, which is more than 1½ times the Benchmark MSAs' average percentage of employment in Production and more than three times the national average.

The five largest Major Occupation Groups provide average annual pay less than the approximately $39,000 average annual pay for all occupations in the region.

The third largest Major Occupation Group, "Food Preparation and Serving", provides the lowest average annual pay.

Eight of the top 10 Production Occupations provide average annual pay less than the approximately $39,000 average annual pay for all occupations in the region.

The average annual pay for the largest Production Occupation, "Team Assemblers", is nearly $10,000 less than the average annual pay for all occupations in the region.

27% of employment is in low-skill Occupations for which no formal education credential is required, and only 22% is in Occupations for which education more than a High School Diploma is required.

Human Capital

"Human Capital" refers to the stock of knowledge, skills, expertise, and capacities embedded in the labor force. Human Capital is the single biggest driver of economic growth in metropolitan areas and continues to increase in importance in the knowledge economy.

particular location relative to the national average. An LQ > 1 indicates a higher than average cluster concentration in a location.

DRAFT 2016-08-05

Regions with higher levels of Human Capital experience greater increases in outputs, productivity, wages, and employment.

We used Workforce Growth Rate, Education Attainment, and Weighted Workforce Education Index as indicators of the region's Human Capital structural characteristics. The Workforce Growth Rate—the rate at which labor supply is increasing—is especially important because it affects the ability of firms to hire the workers they need in order to expand and, accordingly, the rate at which a region's output can grow.

Northcentral Indiana's:

workforce shrunk 1.36% in the period 2010 through 2014, while the workforces of the Benchmark MSAs grew an average of 2.0%,

percentage of population with an education attainment of Associate’s Degree or higher is less than any of the Benchmark MSAs, and

Weighted Workforce Education Index is seven points (20%) below the Benchmark MSAs' average.

Programs for Improvement

The Strategy Development Team concludes from our Situation Analysis that the Northcentral Indiana region needs to enhance its prosperity, growth, and inclusion through Programs for Improvement, to achieve:

greater employment in higher-pay traded clusters,

better access to quality, skilled workers, and

increased employment and business ownership opportunities for minority populations.

We have set forth below the Strategies we recommend to effect these Programs for Improvement and the Outcomes we expect these Strategies to produce.

To Achieve Greater Employment in Higher Pay Traded Clusters

Strategies

1. Accelerate expansion of employment in "Scaleup" Clusters (i.e., existing, already strong clusters for which the average annual pay is higher than the average for all Traded Industry Clusters; the adoption of new technologies such as 3-D Printing, Big Data, Digital Manufacturing, computational modelling, and robotics could have a transformative effect; there are existing companies willing to expand; and there is good potential for attracting new companies).

2. Accelerate expansion of employment in "Entrepreneurial" Clusters (i.e., existing, not yet strong clusters with a high Between Cluster Relatedness to strong clusters, for which the average annual pay is higher than the average for all Traded Industry Clusters, and which involve technology likely to match up with one of Notre Dame's Key Research Areas (Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics, Circuits, Computational Data Science, NDnano,

DRAFT 2016-08-05

Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority

Precision Medicine, Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, Sustainable Energy, Turbomachinery & Propulsion, Wireless Institute).

Outcomes

1. Greater diversity of industries and occupations providing employment in the region

2. Increased income produced by the regional economy on a per capita and per worker basis

3. Growth in employment, investment, and production within the region because of higher personal income leading to an increased demand for goods and services

4. Net migration into the region by workers—attracted from elsewhere by the availability of high-paid jobs—producing growth in the workforce and population

To Achieve Better Access to Quality, Skilled Workers

Strategies

1. Improve the number of work-ready people.

2. Stimulate inward migration.

Outcomes

1. Greater availability of "human capital" to companies in the region produced both by improved work-readiness of workers within the region and by attracting skilled labor from outside of the region

2. Increased growth and profitability of companies in the region enabled by their ability to obtain enough workers with the skills and education levels they need

3. Net migration into the region by workers from elsewhere, producing growth in the workforce and population

4. Growth in employment, investment, and production within the region

To Achieve Increased Employment and Business Ownership Opportunities for Minority Populations

Strategies

1. Increase minorities' employment opportunity by reducing barriers to their employment.

2. Increase the number and size of minority-owned businesses by reducing barriers and providing business assistance.

Outcomes

1. Increased employment, income, and economic well-being for African-American and Hispanic populations within the region

2. Increased growth and profitability of minority-owned companies

3. Growth in employment, investment, and production within the region

4. Increased racial and ethnic diversity of the region's population

Mobilizing to Implement the Programs for Improvement

The Strategy Development Team intends this "Plan for Prosperity, Growth and Inclusion, Version 1.0" to begin an evolving process and to launch a coordinated endeavor to assess, manage, and improve Northcentral Indiana's economy. In order for that process to be implemented, an organization designated by the Regional Development Authority to be the regional economic development body operating under its auspices will be needed.

Functions of a Regional Economic Development Body

The functions of a regional economic development body should include the following:

1. Implementing the Program for Improvement strategies

2. Driving the ongoing evolution of this Plan

3. Convening key regional actors and creating collaborations

4. Creating a platform for public-private collaboration on regional economic strategy

5. Marketing the region

6. Directly encouraging collaboration among local governments and local economic development organizations by applying jointly for state, federal, and philanthropic grants

Funding a Regional Economic Development Body

Linked to the formation of a regional economic development body is deciding its funding model. Whereas county- or city-specific economic development organizations are often provided substantial funding by local government, a regional organization would have no counterpart regional government entity with taxing authority to act as a funding source.

The Strategy Development Team recommends consideration of two approaches to funding the regional economic development:

1. Solicit contributions directly from "investors" and, in addition, create a foundation dedicated to supporting the regional economic development organization that separately solicits contributions.

2. Pool funds from local foundations, similar to what is done by an organization in Northeast Ohio--the Fund for Our Economic Future. The Fund for Our Economic Future ("Fund") was launched in 2004 by the community foundations in several counties and a set of other philanthropic institutions from across Northeast Ohio. Presently, the Fund includes over 50 members, which now are not only philanthropic institutions but also businesses, nonprofits, governmental entities, and higher education institutions.

INTRODUCTION

The Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority Board appointed a 15-member Strategy Development Team to develop a plan for enhancing the economic well-being of Northcentral Indiana. This document is the product of that work. This Plan for Prosperity, Growth and Inclusion, Version 1.0 (the "Plan") provides a set of goals and an initial set of strategies for which—with further research and deliberation—actionable initiatives will be able to be executed. The Strategy Development Team has included "Version 1.0" in the title of this document because we intend it to begin an evolving process by stimulating and giving direction to ongoing discussion about how to make the most of the region's existing assets and nurture development of the new assets needed to achieve future improvements. We hope it will lead to additional versions, each of which becomes both more robust and more precisely calibrated to the structure of Northcentral Indiana's economy. The best known economic development education and certifying body, the International Economic Development Council (IEDC)4, defines economic development as "improving the economic well-being of a community through the fostering of a dynamic environment where economic opportunities can be discovered, taken advantage of, and maximized to their fullest extent to create balanced and sustainable economic growth, jobs, a positive sense of 'place', and an improved quality of life in a defined geographic region."

Accordingly, the scope of this Plan is goals and strategies for enhancing the economic well-being--the prosperity, growth, and inclusion--of Northcentral Indiana through an improved economic structure. We fully acknowledge the need for planning with regard to community development, education, housing, poverty, public health, safety, transportation, the environment, and the overall quality of life. However, these issues are beyond the scope of this Plan and should be addressed by other efforts. Strong schools and a safe and livable environment certainly are critical factors for a successful economy, but this is a plan for improving economic structure. That is, we focused on those aspects of the region that have the most direct effect on improving employment, wages, and inclusion.

Although this is not a plan for poverty elimination and community development, we believe execution of the Plan will contribute to increased economic opportunity for individuals and enhanced quality of place for communities.

The Plan incorporates, as resources for executing strategies, much of the work presently being performed by entities in the region that is directed to the drivers and mechanics of economic growth. We formulated the Plan taking into consideration these existing efforts, and its strategies are meant to encompass many existing initiatives.

Finally, the Strategy Development Team urges all who read this Plan to recognize that our economy extends beyond governmental boundaries. The goals are ambitious, and implementation of the strategies will have to reach beyond the limits of any county, city, or town. Collaborative and coordinated action throughout the region will be vital to the Plan's implementation. Hence, adherence to a regional strategy by local governments and local

economic development organizations will be a critical success factor for improving prosperity, growth, and inclusion in our shared economy.

The Strategy Development Team began by deciding our work product should be a plan that:

is based on documented facts about the performance and structure of Northcentral Indiana's economy,

sets specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound goals ("SMART" goals),

proposes explicit strategies from which results-oriented activities can be derived,

defines measurable outputs desired to be produced by the strategies, and

links the facts, goals, strategies, and outputs in a structure that has a built-in basis for evaluating progress.

Accordingly, we used the Program Logic Model as the organizing architecture for each program in the Plan. A Program Logic Model is a structure consisting of: the problem addressed, the goal that defines success, the rationale and assumptions underlying the goal, and a roadmap of the plan illustrating how it is expected to work--what resources will be used, what activitieswill be executed and what outcomes are desired. It is a systematic way to understand and communicate the relationships among the resources available, the activities planned, and the results intended to be achieved.

Figure 1 is a graphic depiction of the structure and components of a Program Logic Model.

The Team believes the Program Logic Model architecture fulfills our guiding principle that the Plan should link facts, goals, strategies, and outputs in a structure that has a built-in basis for evaluating progress. Because Program Logic Models "connect the dots" between resources, activities, and outcomes, they can be the basis for project management. Using data collection and a project plan, our logic models can help implementation teams track and monitor operations to manage results.

The Program Logic Model architecture also provides a built-in basis for evaluating progress by data collection and using the logic model as the foundation for an evaluation plan as illustrated by the schematic in Figure 2.

OVERVIEW

The Plan for Prosperity, Growth and Inclusion is set forth in the following pages in three parts:

1. Situation Analysis presents an evaluation of Northcentral Indiana's performance in measures of economic well-being – prosperity, growth, and inclusion. It shows how our region is doing and how it compares to the performance of benchmark regions. Furthermore, because structural characteristics drive performance, it also presents analyses of the structural characteristics of our region's economy and compares them to those of the benchmark regions.

2. Programs for Improvement identifies Problem Statements, Goals, and Strategies for the region derived from the Situation Analysis. These Goals and Strategies express the consensus of the Strategy Development Team as to the most important areas for further research and deliberation. Also presented in this part are Activities -- actionable initiatives -- proposed for consideration in relation to each Strategy, potential Resources to support those Activities, and measurable Outputs by which the results of the Activities can be evaluated.

3. Mobilizing for Implementation outlines the functional and funding structures for a regional economic development body, which the Strategy Development Team considers to be needed to support implementation of the Programs for Improvement.

SITUATION ANALYSIS

Economic Performance

The Strategy Development Team for our situation analysis measured economic performance in terms of the factors that matter most to prosperity, growth, and inclusion. Accordingly, our evaluation of Northcentral Indiana's economic performance is based on the measures and comparisons to selected Benchmark Metropolitan Areas (Appleton, WI Metropolitan Area; Cedar Rapids, IA Metropolitan Area; Lancaster, PA Metropolitan Area; Wichita, KS Metropolitan Area; and York, PA Metropolitan Area) 6 set forth below.

Prosperity

We measured Prosperity as the level of income produced by the regional economy on a per capita, per worker, and per proprietor basis because higher personal income leads to an increased demand for goods and services, resulting in greater employment, investment, and production within the region. We also included poverty rate because it reflects how well the benefits of personal income are spread through the population.

Per Capita Personal Income

As illustrated in Figure 3, Northcentral Indiana's Per Capita Personal Income is $5,241 (11.9%) below the Benchmark MSAs' average7.

Employee Compensation Per Worker and Average Nonfarm Proprietor’s Net Income

As illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, Northcentral Indiana's Employee Compensation Per Worker is $2,981 (5.2%) below the Benchmark MSAs' average, but Average Nonfarm Proprietor's Net Income is $5,638 (17.8%) above the Benchmark MSAs' average 8.

Growth

We measured Growth by the increases over time in employment and productivity because these increases ultimately improve the economic well-being of those who live in the region. The extent to which the population is employed is an indicator of the extent to which the region is utilizing its productive capacity. Employment is also significant as an end itself, because having a job and the ability to generate income profoundly influences a person's sense of well-being and generating income is critical to the life and sustainability of a community. We used as our measures of employment performance the employment-growth to population-growth ratio, prime-age employment ratio, and the compound annual rate of workforce growth. The workforce growth rate — the rate at which labor supply is increasing — is especially important because it affects the ability of firms to expand and, accordingly, the rate at which the region's output can grow. We also included net migration as a measure of Growth because the region's labor supply can be increased through net in-migration of workers from outside the region or decreased by net out-migration of workers to other regions. We used as our measure of productivity performance the compound annual rate at which Gross Domestic Product per worker has increased.

Employment-Growth-to-Population-Growth Ratio

As illustrated in Figure 6, Northcentral Indiana's Employment-Growth-to-Population-Growth Ratio 2004 through 2014 was negative and 1.13 points lower than the Benchmark MSAs' average.10

Figure 6: Employment-Growth-to-Population-Growth Ratio, 2004 - 2014

Prime-Age Employment Ratio

As illustrated in Figure 7, Northcentral Indiana's Prime-Age Employment Ratio is 4.4 points below the Benchmark MSAs' average11.

Prime-Age Employment Ratio is calculated as the number of 25 to 64 year-olds who are either employed or looking for work, divided by the total number of people in that age group. Thus, the Prime-Age Employment Ratio (ER) captures both the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) and the Unemployment Rate (UR) for the population that is most likely to be working, as:

ER = LFPR*(1-UR)

Details of Labor Force Participation Rate, Employment Ratio, and Unemployment Rate for several demographic segments of the population in Northcentral Indiana and the Benchmark MSAs are shown in Appendix B, Table B-1.

Inclusion

In today's environment of concern about income inequality, income mobility, social equitability, and environmental sustainability, writers of economic and social literature are assigning an ever-expanding variety of meanings to "inclusion". However, the Strategy Development Team focused on racial and ethnic inclusion as it relates, in particular, to the availability of economic opportunity to persons of African-American race and Hispanic ethnicity. Therefore, we measured Inclusion by the (a) ratio of the unemployment rate of the African-American race population to the unemployment rate of total population 16 years and over, (b) ratio of the unemployment rate of the Hispanic ethnicity population to the unemployment rate of total population 16 years and over, (c) the percentage of businesses that are minority-owned, and (d) the ratio of the average number employed by minority-owned business firms with paid employees to the average number employed by nonminority-owned business firms with paid employees.

Ratio of African-American Unemployment Rate to Total Population Unemployment Rate

As illustrated in Figure 10, Northcentral Indiana's ratio of the unemployment rate of the African-American race population to the unemployment rate of the total population 16 years and over is two points better than the Benchmark MSAs' average. However, the African-American unemployment rate in our region is more than double the total population unemployment rate.15

Economic Structural Factors

Every region has structural factors that interact in a way unique to that locality and drive its economic performance.19 The structural factors that most directly drive economic performance are the distribution of employment by industry, the distribution of employment by occupation, and human capital. Accordingly, our evaluation of Northcentral Indiana's economic structural factors is based on the measures and comparisons to selected Benchmark MSAs described below.

Employment by Industry Cluster

The Strategy Development Team analyzed the distribution of employment in terms of "Industry Cluster" instead of the industries identified by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, for the following reasons:

In the NAICS, industries are classified according to the type of goods or services they produce. These designations in the NAICS impose artificial constraints that make it hard to understand how a regional economy actually functions. In the real world, instead of a single industry being an economic driver, each industry is part of a cluster of productive activities that are related to it--many of which are classified in other NAICS sectors. A cluster might embody not only the firms that produce a good or service itself, but also local suppliers to those firms, professional and financial services that provide services to these firms, and institutions that train the labor force for the jobs in those firms.

Industry Clusters are groups of industries closely related by skill, technology, supply, demand, and other linkages. Because the definitions of Industry Clusters incorporate this inter-industry relatedness, they enable the comparison of clusters across locations and over time by mapping the defined clusters into regional units and measuring the specialization patterns of regions in the clusters. 20

Our source of Industry Cluster data is The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project.21.

Industry Clusters are either Traded Clusters or Local Clusters. A Traded Cluster is composed

of traded industries, which are concentrated in a geographic region and sell to other regions and nations. A Local Cluster is composed of local industries, which primarily sell locally and

tend to grow as local population grows

Employment Distribution by Industry Cluster

Northcentral Indiana's employment distribution by Traded and Local Clusters is detailed by number, percentage, and Location Quotient (LQ)22 in Appendix B, Table B-2. Employment is equally split between Traded Industry Clusters and Local Industry Clusters.

For our analysis, we focused on Traded Clusters. We did so because the techniques used in most studies to assess an area's economic competitiveness are all, in one way or another, based on an analysis of the area's current or potential ability to trade with the outside world. An economy—a region in our case—grows by exporting goods and services it produces to outside the region, thus bringing income into the region. That new income then further increases the region's income as a portion of it is spent on local goods and services (the multiplier effect).23

Appendix B, Table B-3 shows for Northcentral Indiana and the Benchmark MSAs the percentage of total Traded Industry Cluster employment accounted for by each Traded Industry Cluster. In both Northcentral Indiana and the Benchmark MSAs, the top two clusters combined account for more than 25% of all Traded Industry Cluster employment. The top two clusters and their combined percentage of Traded Industry Cluster employment for each region are:

Northcentral Indiana — "Trailers, Motor Homes, and Appliances"; "Education and Knowledge Creation" (32.7%)

Appleton — "Business Services"; "Distribution and Electronic Commerce" (27.1%)

Cedar Rapids — "Business Services"; "Aerospace Vehicles and Defense" (26.8%)

Lancaster — "Distribution and Electronic Commerce"; "Business Services" (27.1%)

Wichita — "Aerospace Vehicles and Defense"; "Business Services" (48.2%)

York — "Distribution and Electronic Commerce"; "Business Services" (26.7%)

We noted especially that, although all the Benchmark MSAs have Business Services and four of the five have Distribution and Electronic Commerce as one of their top two Traded Industry Clusters, neither of these Traded Industry Clusters is one of Northcentral Indiana's top two.

22 A Location Quotient (LQ) is the ratio of an industry’s share of total employment in a location relative to its share of total national employment. The LQ measures the specialization or concentration of a cluster in a particular location relative to the national average. An LQ > 1 indicates a higher than average cluster concentration in a location. 23 Hal Wolman, Alice Levy, Garry Young, Pamela Blumenthal, "Economic Competitiveness And The Determinants Of Sub-National Area Economic Activity", (Washington, D.C., George Washington Institute of Public Policy, 2008), 6

Northcentral Indiana and the Benchmark MSAs, the top two Major Occupation Groups combined account for 25% or more of all employment. The top two Major Occupation Groups and their combined percentage of total employment for each region are:

Northcentral Indiana — "Production"; "Office and Administrative Support" (35.2%)

Appleton — Office and Administrative Support; Production (27.8%)

Cedar Rapids — "Office and Administrative Support"; "Transportation and Material Moving"(25%)

Lancaster — "Office and Administrative Support"; "Sales and Related" (26.4%)

Table B-6 shows that Northcentral Indiana's percentage of employment in Major Occupational Group that are in the national upper quartiles of average annual pay is lower than all the Benchmark MSAs and 5.6 points (21.3%) below the Benchmark MSAs' average.

A Drill-down into the Production Occupations Group

Because the Production Occupations Group constitutes the largest occupational employment group in Northcentral Indiana and is more than a fifth of total employment, we decided to analyze further the individual occupations in the Production group.

Northcentral Indiana's employment distribution by individual occupation within the Production Occupations Group is detailed by number, percentage, and Average Annual Pay in Appendix B, Table B-7.

Figure 18 graphically illustrates the percentage of total employment in occupations for which each education level is required.29

Figure 18: Percentage Employed in Occupations by Education Attainment Required

To the extent the education attainment required is an indication of the skill level of an occupation, Table B-7 and Figure 18 show that a large percentage of Northcentral Indiana's employment is in low-skill occupations. Occupations for which no formal education credential is required account for 27% of all employment, and occupations for which education more than a High School Diploma is required account for only 22%.

Human Capital

Human Capital refers to the stock of knowledge, skills, expertise, and capacities embedded in the labor force. Human Capital is the single biggest driver of economic growth, and it continues to increase in importance in the knowledge economy. Regions with higher levels of Human Capital experience greater increases in outputs, productivity, wages, and employment.

Workforce Growth

The workforce growth rate— the rate at which labor supply is increasing— affects the ability of firms to hire the workers they need in order to expand and, accordingly, the rate at which a region's output can grow.

The workforce growth of Northcentral Indiana and the Benchmark MSAs for the post-recession years 2010 through 2014 is set forth in Appendix B, Table B-9.

Figure 19 graphically illustrates that Northcentral Indiana's workforce shrunk 1.36% in the 2010 through 2014 period, while the workforces of the Benchmark MSAs grew an average of 2.0%.30

Weighted Workforce Education Index

Using a Weighted Workforce Education Index is an effective means of comparing the level of total workforce education across locations and over time. A "Weighted Workforce Education Index" is a weighted score of the educational attainment of the workforce devised by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation as part of its "New Economy Index". The measure is computed by (a) weighting the percentage of residents with less than a high school education with a multiplier of -0.5, (b) weighting the percentage of residents with a high school diploma or equivalent with a multiplier of 0.0, (c) weighting the percentage of residents with some college but no degree with a multiplier of 0.25, (d) weighting the percentage of residents with an associate's degree with a multiplier of 0.5, (c) weighting the percentage of residents with a bachelor’s degree with a multiplier of 1.0, (e) weighting the percentage of residents with graduate and professional degrees with a multiplier of 1.5, and (f) totaling the weighted percentages to produce the Weighted Workforce Education Index value.

PROGRAMS FOR IMPROVEMENT

The Strategy Development Team concluded from our Situation Analysis that the Northcentral Indiana region should establish programs to improve prosperity, growth, and inclusion through:

greater employment in higher-pay traded clusters,

better access to quality, skilled workers, and

increased employment and business ownership opportunities for minority populations.

We have described these programs in the following pages, setting out for each the following Program Logic Model components:

Problem Statement

Resources

Outputs

Outcomes

Greater Employment in Higher-Pay Traded Clusters

Problem Statement

A high concentration of employment in certain manufacturing clusters which employ a large percentage of low-skill, low-pay occupations such as Assemblers and Fabricators, Production Helpers, and Team Assemblers:

a) causes average employee earnings and per capita personal income to be less than in comparable areas, and

b) is unattractive to skilled workers, thus contributing to negative net migration.

Goal

A greater share of employment in higher-pay, Traded Industry Clusters

DRAFT 2016-08-05

Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority

33

Rationale

Increased employment in higher-pay, Traded Industry Clusters:

a) will produce higher employee compensation per worker, which will result in higher per capita income,

b) will attract inward migrants to the region, and

c) will further increase the region's income as a portion of the new income from higher-paid jobs is spent on local goods and services.

Assumptions

1. There will be companies in the selected clusters that will take advantage of innovation and business assistance services to accelerate their growth.

2. There will be sufficient market demand to enable existing companies and startups in the selected clusters, with an appropriate growth strategy, to expand and increase their employment of higher-skill, higher-pay occupations.

Strategies

Although creating new clusters from scratch is not practical, growth of existing clusters can be accelerated.33 As the diagram in Figure 14 presented earlier illustrates, Northcentral Indiana is home to over 20 existing Traded Industry Clusters which are already strong (i.e., their Location Quotient is greater than 1.0) and several others which, while not yet strong, have a high Between Cluster Relatedness to already strong clusters. Accordingly, a greater share of employment in higher-pay, Traded Industry Clusters can be attained by extending innovation and business assistance services to established companies and startup companies with significant growth potential in selected clusters:

Therefore, we recommend the following Strategies:

Accelerate expansion of employment in "Scaleup" Clusters

Accelerate expansion of employment by companies in "Scaleup" Clusters (i.e., existing, already strong clusters for which: the average annual pay is higher than the average for all Traded Industry Clusters; the adoption of new technologies such as 3-D Printing, Big Data, Digital Manufacturing, computational modelling, and robotics could have a transformative effect; there are existing companies willing to expand; and there is good potential for attracting new companies.)

2. Increased income produced by the regional economy on a per capita and per worker basis

DRAFT 2016-08-05

Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority

41

3. Growth in employment, investment, and production within the region because of higher personal income leading to an increased demand for goods and services

4. Net migration into the region by workers--attracted from elsewhere by the availability of high-paid jobs--producing growth in the workforce and population

Better Access to Quality, Skilled Workers

Problem Statement

The availability of quality, skilled workers is insufficient to meet employers' needs because:

a) career path education and workforce preparation is inadequate,

b) the Labor Force Participation Rate is low, and

c) inward migration of highly skilled workers is low.

Goal

Better access to quality, skilled workers.

Rationale

Understanding this problem requires recognition of the following:38

a) Regional labor supply is principally determined by the number of individuals of working age within the region, the Labor Force Participation Rate (the percentage of individuals of working age who are either working or actively seeking work), and worker decisions about the wage rates at which they will work. These decisions about wage rates (and number of hours to be worked) reflect individual worker opportunity cost (or what labor economists call a worker’s "reservation wage"). The reservation wage must equal or exceed the value a worker places on leisure time (plus any transfer payments the worker receives in lieu of working) and must also cover the costs of commuting and living in the region; thus regional transportation systems and housing markets are inputs into labor supply.

b) Labor supply is also influenced by net migration into the region of workers from elsewhere. Workers will be attracted to the region if jobs are available and real wage rates (accounting for the cost of living) are higher in the region relative to elsewhere, or if the region has other attractions such as low housing costs or high quality amenities.

c) The supply of labor can be increased through increases in the Labor Force Participation Rate of individuals already in the region.

d) In addition to balancing the amount of labor demanded and supplied, the regional labor market should work to balance the skills and education needs of businesses with the skills and education levels of available workers. Worker skills and education reflect the "human capital" of the labor which can be produced both from educating workers within the region and by attracting skilled labor from outside of the region. There is a close connection between the education and training systems and labor quality.

Assumptions

1. Effectively implementing the Indiana Career Council’s "Align, Engage, Advance - A Strategic Plan to Transform Indiana’s Workforce" will remedy presently inadequate career path education and workforce preparation.

2. Reducing the factors we have identified as possible obstacles to employment or seeking employment will increase the Labor Force Participation Rate.

Strategies

1. Improve the number of work-ready people.

2. Stimulate inward migration.

Activities

Activities to Increase the Number of Work-Ready People

1. Execute the Indiana Career Council’s "Align, Engage, Advance - A Strategic Plan to Transform Indiana’s Workforce".

2. Encourage adults who did not graduate from high school to take advantage of programs to help them achieve a high school diploma and develop workplace skills.

3. Use "work-and-learn" programs to attract qualified talent (see Indiana Career Council’s publication "A Guide to Talent Attraction and Development for Indiana Employers" at: www.in.gov/icc/files/A_Guide_to_Talent_Attraction_and_Development_for_Hoosier_Employers.pdf)

4. Consider regional common competency assessments for both open positions and potential job candidates.

5. Establish more effective interaction with WorkOne Northern Indiana to improve (a) the matching of potential workers seeking employment with potential employers seeking workers through better job information exchange and (b) the linking of employer needs to potential workers through workforce training institutions and through community college programs such as customized training.

6. Develop clusters of young professionals for in-demand occupations through internship and fellowship programs.

Activities to Stimulate Inward Migration

1. Enhance the region’s "quality of place" by coordinating and improving region-wide land use planning, smart streets and walkability programs, and expansion of cultural and recreational amenities.

2. Deploy RCNI grants to assist in funding quality of place enhancement projects and population attraction projects.

3. Improve marketing and brand of the region, accenting great things in the region and welcoming attitude to other cultures/minorities/immigrants.

4. Consider a campaign to encourage residents to recruit their family members and friends back to the region for existing opportunities. "Dakota Roots", a program by the South Dakota Department of Labor to attract talent back to South Dakota, could be a model for such a campaign (https://dakotarootstest.sd.gov/).

Resources

The Strategy Development Team identified several entities and programs as potential Resources for executing the Activities described above. However, because further research will be required to ascertain for each the role it might fulfill and its capability and willingness to do so, we have listed them separately in Appendix C.

Outcomes

1. Greater availability of "human capital" to companies in the region produced both by improved work-readiness of workers within the region and by attracting skilled labor from outside of the region

2. Increased growth and profitability of companies in the region enabled by their ability to obtain enough workers with the skills and education levels they need

3. Net migration into the region by workers from elsewhere, producing growth in the workforce and population

4. Growth in employment, investment, and production within the region

Increased Employment and Business Ownership Opportunities for Minority Populations

Problem Statement

Minority populations have insufficient access to economic opportunity.

Goals

1. Less minority unemployment

2. Increased number and size of minority-owned businesses

Rationale

1. The Unemployment Rate for racial and ethnic minorities is above the average of the Benchmark MSAs.

2. Although minority ownership of businesses in our region is above the average of the Benchmark MSAs, increases in the number and size of minority-owned businesses would help the region in retaining, and attracting as inward migrants, a more diverse population.

Assumptions

1. Racial and ethnic minorities will take advantage of programs to help them overcome obstacles to employment.

2. Present and potential minority business owners will take advantage of programs to help them establish or expand businesses.

Strategies

1. Increase minorities' employment opportunity by reducing barriers to their employment.

2. Increase the number and size of minority-owned businesses by reducing barriers and providing business assistance.

Activities

Activities to Increase Minorities' Employment

1. Expand the availability of programs to help workers master not only occupational skills but also other work-related skills such as communication, problem solving, and dealing with supervisors and coworkers (like the Georgia Youth Apprenticeship Program, http://www.gadoe.org).

2. Examine the availability of public transportation between Census Tracts where a large share of the population consists of minorities and the locations of their most-likely potential employers and, to the extent feasible, remedy any deficiencies.

3. Expand the availability of programs to overcome cultural or language barriers to seeking employment.

4. Nurture and mentor minority-owned nonemployer firms to grow into employer firms.

Activities to Increase the Number and Size of Minority-Owned Businesses

1. Acknowledge and address institutional bias and how racial and ethnic differences can affect business opportunities. For example, multiple studies document higher loan application rejection rates among minority business enterprises (MBEs), compared with equally creditworthy White-owned firms. When MBEs do receive bank financing, they get smaller loans than Whites do39.

2. Bridge the language divide, translating chamber of commerce and economic development corporation websites into native languages.

3. Align racial- and ethnic-oriented chambers such as Black and Latino businesses leaders to access needed resources such as leadership roundtables.

4. Evaluate the feasibility of assisting startup and small minority-owned businesses by establishing a region-wide Community Development Venture Capital Fund (see http://cdvca.org).

5. Using Cleveland’s "Minority Business Accelerator 2.5+" as a model, create a region-wide minority business accelerator to help established minority-owned businesses expand and prosper by: (a) Minority business development - growing the number, size, and infrastructure of existing medium-to-large minority-owned businesses (annual revenue of at least $2.5 million) that offer products or services in one of five target industries: construction, manufacturing, information technology, financial services or healthcare (which research has shown tend to hire more minority individuals) and (b) corporate supplier diversity development - strengthening and expanding large companies’ supplier diversity programs.

6. Launch in the region's urbanized areas a "Cleveland Model" type of community wealth-building initiative to increase opportunities for anchor institutions (such as cultural institutions, health care facilities, faith-based institutions, public utilities, and municipal governments) to purchase goods and services locally, and help minority-owned

MOBILIZING TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMS FOR IMPROVEMENT

The Need for a Regional Economic Development Body

As stated in the Introduction, we intend this "Plan for Prosperity, Growth and Inclusion, Version 1.0" to begin an evolving process and to launch a coordinated endeavor to assess, manage, and improve Northcentral Indiana's economy. We mean it to stimulate and give direction to ongoing discussion about how to make the most of the region's existing assets and nurture development of the new assets needed to achieve future improvement. We have provided in this Plan a set of goals and an initial set of strategies for which—with further research and deliberation—actionable initiatives will be able to be executed. However, in order for the intended process to be implemented, a strong regional economic development body will be needed.

Unlike the Benchmark MSAs and other economic regions such as Chicago and Indianapolis, that concentrate around a single major city, the Northcentral Indiana region consists of three counties in which there are three cities with population more than 50,000 and over 20 smaller cities and towns. The larger cities in the region each have an economic development department and an economic development corporation operates in each of the three counties. Each has its own strategy for attracting and retaining jobs, with little coordination across the region and frequent competition between localities. This horizontal fragmentation is understandable because, while from a regional perspective it matters little where within the region economic activity locates, it matters deeply to individual local governments that receive a property tax yield only if the activity locates within their boundaries. Localities, therefore, have an incentive to compete with one another to be the "winner" in the location decisions of new development projects.

Nevertheless, parochial interests will have to be overcome in order to implement this Plan. There are many issues involved, including land use planning, workforce skills development, transportation planning and investment, environmental quality, communications infrastructure, and quality of place. A regional economic development body is needed to induce cooperation and collaboration among local governments and actors. A regional economic development body also could help the region's smaller communities, whose means are limited, connect with economic opportunities in the region and align their efforts with the strategic needs of the region.

Functions of a Regional Economic Development Body

The Strategy Development Team recommends that the Regional Development Authority designate an entity to be a regional economic development body that would operate under its auspices. The functions of the regional economic development body should include the following:

DRAFT 2016-08-05

Northcentral Indiana Regional Development Authority

48

1. Program implementation -- Implementing the Programs for Improvement set forth in this Plan by:

a) performing further research and deliberation to produce a set of Activities to implement the Strategies, decide the Resources to be used for executing the Activities, and determine the Outputs—targeted values of indicators related to each of the Activities—by which to measure progress;

b) developing the project plan, timetable, and responsible party assignments for executing the Activities; and

c) managing execution of the Activities.

2. Plan evolution -- Driving the evolution of this Plan to effect the ongoing coordinated endeavor to continually assess, manage, and improve Northcentral Indiana's economy.

3. Convening key regional actors and creating collaborations -- Encouraging greater regional activity by creating, supporting or facilitating networks that bring together the potential actors in the region concerned with economic growth, including local governments, local economic development corporations, local land use planning agencies, agencies of the State of Indiana (such as Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Indiana Procurement Technical Assistance Center, Northern Indiana Small Business Development Center, and WorkOne Northern Indiana), K–12 education institutions, postsecondary education institutions, elected officials, Elevate Ventures, Innovation Park at Notre Dame, Ignition Park, the Michiana Area Council of Governments, local foundations, local non-profits, and local civic organizations to discuss regional strategies and how they might be implemented.

4. Creating a platform for public-private collaboration on regional economic strategy -- Aggregating public planning and development goals, and conveying that information to developers and businesses looking to expand their operations. This should include:

a) fostering dialogue between businesses, local government, local economic development organizations, key stakeholders, and regional agencies about changing needs and new strategies related to workforce, infrastructure, communications connectivity, and related issues;

b) helping local governments create consistent business permitting guidelines across jurisdictions and streamlining development permitting processes;

c) serving as the regional clearinghouse on land availability, zoning permitting, and local development;

d) serving as the regional clearinghouse for "leads" received from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and

e) assisting businesses looking to expand within or enter the region through site selection services and consulting.

5. Marketing the region -- Communicating the region's attractiveness to businesses, investors, and potential inward migrants and expanding awareness of its brand, its distinct assets, its diversity of locations for business activities, and its innovation ecosystem.

DRAFT 2016-08-05

6. Directly encouraging collaboration – Directly encouraging local governments and local economic development organizations to engage in cooperative activity by applying jointly for state, federal, and philanthropic grants.

Funding a Regional Economic Development Body

Linked to the designation of an entity to be the regional economic development body is deciding its funding model. Whereas county- or city-specific economic development organizations are often provided substantial funding by local government, a regional organization would have no counterpart regional government entity with taxing authority to act as a funding source.

A key finding of a study of 10 regions participating in the Brookings-Rockefeller Project on State and Metropolitan Innovation (an effort designed to advance a new model of economic development that achieves better results for more people and communities) is that it takes a sustained, comprehensive effort over many years to make lasting improvements in a regional economy. Yet, most of the innovative economic development work in the United States is grant funded, typically in small chunks, for a limited duration, restricted to particular programs, and often focused on short-term results.

The disconnect between short-term, programmatic funding and the need for long-term, systemic change is creating a predicament for regional partnerships, forcing them to cobble together enough short-term grants to keep their innovative efforts going long enough to make a lasting difference. Their heavy reliance on grant funding is also making it difficult to retain core staff, who are critical to holding the pieces together and keeping the work moving in the right direction.

In those 10 regions, the most common approach is to house their core functions and staff in a chamber of commerce or local economic development organization that has strong, stable support from private sector members, along with a willingness to redirect some of that revenue stream to the regional entity. However, those efforts have often come up short of what is needed, particularly when trying to expand the work.40

Hence, a different approach should be used in Northcentral Indiana for funding an organization to implement the region's strategies.

One would be the approach used by the Northeast Indiana Partnership. This is to solicit contributions directly from "investors" and, in addition, create a foundation dedicated to supporting the regional economic development organization, which separately solicits contributions. The Northeast Indiana Partnership's 2014 Annual Report lists 120 investors contributing $10,000 or more annually and 30 investors contributing less than $10,000 annually, and its total assets were $1,415,318. Its Northeast Indiana Foundation, Inc., ("NIF"), formed in 2005, is a 501(c)(3) Type 1 supporting organization to the Northeast Indiana

Regional Partnership under section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. NIF's 2014 Annual Report lists 50 donors and its total assets were $1,680,588.

Another approach would be to pool funds from local foundations, similar to what the Fund for Our Economic Future does in Northeast Ohio. The Fund for Our Economic Future ("Fund") was launched in 2004 by the community foundations in several counties and a set of other philanthropic institutions from across Northeast Ohio. Its mission was to promote a regional approach for increasing economic prosperity and opportunity. The original 28 Fund members committed a total of $30 million over three years to begin restoring regional economic competitiveness through pooled grant-making, research, and convening. This regional collaboration has grown in strength over time. Presently, the Fund includes over 50 members, which now are not only philanthropic institutions but also businesses, nonprofits, governmental entities, and higher education institutions. Funders have pooled more than $90 million and invested nearly twice that amount through economic development grants made by their individual organizations, including $141 million in grants in 2011 and 2012. In addition, the Fund has helped the region attract more than $100 million in federal and state support for its strategies.

APPENDIX A: SELECTION OF BENCHMARK REGIONS

The Strategy Development Team decided to compare Northcentral Indiana's economic performance to Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) that are performing better in at least one key measure: Per Capita Personal Income as a percentage of U.S. Per Capita Personal Income. Our reasoning was that comparing to regions performing better in Per Capita Personal Income would help decide the levels of other performance measures that would be improvements our region might reasonably aspire to achieving.

In addition to the MSA's Per Capita Personal Income, our other selection criteria were:

1. MSA's primary state is not an East Coast state, Sun Belt state, or West Coast state

2. MSA does not encompass a state capital city

3. MSA's population in 2014 was between 200,000 and 1,000,000

4. MSA's Compound Annual Growth Rate of Real GDP Per Worker 2004-2014 was positive

5. MSA's Manufacturing industry accounted for more than 14% of total employment in 2014 (We used 14% because that is the lowest percentage of Manufacturing employment in any of Northcentral Indiana's three counties.)

Thirteen Metropolitan Areas met these criteria:

Appleton, WI Lancaster, PA

Canton, OH Lexington, KY

Cedar Rapids, IA Peoria, IL

Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL Toledo, OH

Fort Wayne, IN Wichita, KS

Green Bay, WI York, PA

Kalamazoo, MI

Based on a review of the economic performance measures in Table A-1 below and profiles of these 13 Metropolitan Areas prepared for us by enFocus Fellows, the Strategy Development Team voted to select as our "Benchmark MSAs" Appleton, WI; Cedar Rapids, IA; Lancaster, PA; Wichita, KS; and York, PA.

Table A-2 below shows the economic performance measures for Northcentral Indiana and the five selected Benchmark MSAs.
