The Wabash River Regional Development Authority board voted to pursue Opportunity Zone incentives for federally eligible census tracts across its west-central Indiana region — Clay, Knox, Parke, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo counties. The RDA framed Opportunity Zones as a tool to draw private capital for economic development, jobs, housing, and revitalization in the low-income region. Specific tract nominations are still to come, with Indiana's statewide submission deadline set for July 17. The move aligns the multi-county authority with the state's broader OZ 2.0 push.
