II III LETTER FROM CONEXUS SOUTHWEST REGIONAL LOGISTICS COUNCIL CHAIR

A Plan for Growing Southwest Indiana’s Logistics Sector was created by leading members of the logistics community throughout Southwest Indiana. Our region sits at the population center of the United States, and development of the appropriate infrastructure coupled with training of a skilled workforce will further the economic success of our region.

The logistics community within Southwest Indiana, made up of the four modes of transportation, including air, rail, truck and water, gathered and agreed unanimously on the “future initiatives” that should be implemented to provide seamless transportation solutions to Southwest Indiana.

The Conexus Indiana Logistics Council (CILC), partnering with regional economic groups and chambers of commerce in Southwest Indiana (including Innovation Pointe) created the Southwest Regional Logistics Council (SWRLC) and was a catalyst in creating a forum for logistics executives to discuss issues affecting the industry. We believe that by achieving alignment of priorities in the areas of infrastructure, public policy and workforce development, Southwest Indiana will be able to maximize short-term and long-term success for the logistics sector in this region.

A Plan for Growing Southwest Indiana’s Logistics Sector outlines those priorities/initiatives desired to incent companies to select our region to grow their business. These initiatives also will support creation of high paying jobs for citizens in this region. If the strategies, goals and tactics developed in this plan are implemented by the private and public sectors, we believe that the Southwest Region will continue to grow.

We would like to thank the dedication and work of the volunteer executives within this council that have made the creation of this document a reality. This document will provide CILC, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the Ports of Indiana, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), regional/local economic groups and chambers of commerce with a strong foundation to further the goals outlined therein.

We look forward to continuing the conversation on how to further develop the resources and infrastructure in Southwest Indiana to create an environment that supports further economic success in the region. Your thoughts, comments and suggestions will make this a “living, breathing document” that supports initiatives, a vision and economic results that impact our region.

Respectfully,

Barry Cox President & Chief Operating Officer Officer The Cox Group Chair, Southwest Regional Logistics Council

V EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: SOUTHWEST REGIONAL LOGISTICS COUNCIL

The Conexus Indiana Southwest Regional Logistics Council (SWRLC) is a forum of 38 logistics executives and thought leaders from throughout Southwest Indiana representing the following logistics sectors: air, infrastructure, rail, trucking, warehousing/distribution, waterborne, advanced manufacturing and service firms. Logistics users are manufacturers, distributors/warehousing, and third-party providers.

SWRLC is working to:

◆◆ Enhance the environment for companies in advanced manufacturing and logistics to grow their business, taking advantage of Indiana’s position at the heart of the global supply chain;

◆◆ Create a more attractive environment for manufacturing and logistics companies to relocate to or expand in the Southwest Region, thereby creating jobs and increasing State and local revenue; and

◆◆ Create high-paying jobs for Hoosiers – the average wage of Indiana manufacturing and logistics jobs is more than 33% higher than the State’s median income.

PROBLEM STATEMENT The Southwest Region’s transportation network has opportunities for improvement due to transportation “bottlenecks”; lack of direct rail service; underutilized air facilities with little international freight movement; lack of efficient mode-to-mode connectivity (e.g. road to rail; road to water; road to air; rail to water); a decaying lock and dam infrastructure; and lack of dredging that prohibits barges/ships to maximize capacity. This disconnect has created higher costs, potential environmental impacts, inefficient freight movement, loss of productivity for Southwest Region businesses, and safety impacts.

MISSION STATEMENT The Southwest Regional Logistics Council will work to promote logistics excellence in the Southwest Region through development of infrastructure, public policy, public awareness and workforce development goals. The Southwestern Region is positioned strategically in the population center of the United States.

1 OBJECTIVES

1. Executive Forum: Provide a forum for Southwest Region logistics executives to discuss issues affecting the industry;

2. Infrastructure: Develop a comprehensive plan to strengthen the Southwest Region’s public and private logistics infrastructure;

3. Public Awareness: Develop paid and earned media to promote the sector;

4. Public Policy: Identify Federal, State, and local public policy areas that impact the logistics industry and work with Federal, State, and local thought leaders from government, academia and associations to enhance the sector;

5. Workforce Development: Develop and implement strategies to build the human capital needed to support the growing demand for logistics services through innovative workforce programs in the Southwest Region.

2 LOGISTICS STRATEGIES

◆◆ Increase the flow of goods originating, terminating, and adding value within the Southwest Region over the next five years, thereby, creating an increase of net new jobs and growing the logistics sector.

◆◆ Provide a broad-based forum, consisting of Southwest Region business executives throughout the logistics industry, for collectively vetting critical relevant logistics public policy issues of commonality, therefore, optimizing the business climate.

◆◆ Strengthen and grow the logistics qualified workforce in the Southwest Region by creating portable skills curricula leading to academic degrees/certifications that will increase the pipeline of qualified workers over the next five years.

◆◆ Increase the public’s awareness of the importance of the logistics industry on the Southwest Region’s economy.

INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS
