Whether or not you were able to attend the GRIP the Future launch event on Oct. 27, 2010 or complete the public survey, we hope you stay involved in this important initiative. We are still teeming with energy from the great turnout, substantive discussion, and amazing speakers at GRIP the Future. The day-long event at Gary’s Genesis Center, attended by nearly 200 people, marked meaningful progress toward stabilizing and reinvesting in Northwest Indiana’s urban core. More than 800 residents and stakeholders provided their input by taking the GRIP survey – at the event, online and via mail – to help the region begin to prioritize investments. We also are excited to report that strong momentum has carried several key initiatives forward: • CSX Corporation agreed to move the Canadian National rail tracks, a key step to allow for the expansion of the Gary/ Chicago International Airport. Other critical elements of the Airport’s Business Plan are advancing as scheduled. • MPC hosted Xavier de Souza Briggs, associate director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, for a day of discussions that included the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) and Legacy Foundation, who shared with Mr.
