The logistics community, composed of service providers from the four modes of transportation (air, rail, truck and water) as well as other logistics stakeholders including users of logistics services such as advanced manufacturing, warehouse/ distribution companies, and infrastructure design and construction companies, gathered and agreed unanimously on the key deliverables and priorities for Central Indiana. The Conexus Indiana Logistics Council, partnering with Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, regional economic development organizations and chambers of commerce in Central Indiana created the Central Regional Logistics Council (CRLC) and was the catalyst in creating the forum of logistics executives to discuss issues affecting their industry and to build a common agenda across all logistics sectors, including both private and public. We believe that by aligning priorities in the areas of infrastructure, public policy and workforce development, Central Indiana will be able to maximize short-term and long-term success for the logistics industry in this region. Strengthening the Crossroads: Driving Central Indiana’s Logistics Industry was prepared from the input of a broad cross section of logistics providers and users, ensuring that the priorities identified for the Central Region will enhance the environment for growth of existing companies, create a more attractive business climate to attract companies to Indiana, and create high paying jobs for the citizens in this region. Implementation by both the public and private sectors of the strategies, goals and tactics contained in this plan will continue to grow our region’s reputation as a logistics hub and ensure the region’s leadership in logistics well into the future. The countless hours and dedication of the volunteer executives from CRLC provide the Conexus Indiana Logistics Council (CILC), the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the Ports of Indiana, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and the regional and local economic groups and chambers of commerce with a strong foundation to make the goals outlined in this plan a reality. The talented and dedicated staff of Conexus Indiana together with the regional and local economic development groups and chambers of commerce will carry out these initiatives and drive the implementation of the tactics necessary to ensure the plan’s success. We look forward to continuing conversations on future opportunities that will continue to enhance the logistics sector in the Central Region, and we will continue our work by updating the plan on a regular basis to ensure that it is as dynamic as the logistics industry itself.
