What is Vibrant Michigan City

Vibrant Michigan City aims to ignite a more economically inclusive community through actionable steps that are rooted in research, data, public feedback, an advisory team of city leaders and expert guidance.

The Community-Centered Economic Inclusion initiative is being led by the Economic Development Corporation of Michigan City (EDCMC), in collaboration with two national nonprofit organizations, Brookings & LISC.

Through this united effort, a playbook will be drawn up to center on how to boost the West Side, East Side, and Midtown Corridor of Michigan City. The agenda items will be focused on economic ideas, built environment, civic ideas, and social ideas.

Our Initiative

The Vibrant Michigan City mission is to spark a space where all members of the community are flourishing. The success of the initiative is grounded in the key players who are working together on this plan and the expertise that they all bring to the table.

LISC Partnership

LISC team members work with residents and partners across America to make an impact on the distribution of wealth, health care and opportunities. As a community development organization, the LISC team will help put together the playbook of impactful actions and steps.

Brookings Partnership

Brookings is a national “think tank” that is providing the research needed to provide insight and guidance in the Vibrant Michigan City efforts. Each participating town will develop a CCEI agenda upon completion of the year-long Learning Lab to detail how to address economic stagnation and inequity.

Economic Development Corporation

The EDCMC is addressing the issues and needs of our diverse population by serving as a liaison between Brookings, LISC, and the City of Michigan City by adopting a synergetic scope to evaluate quality of life assets and economic inclusion.

Indiana Economic Development Corporation

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation is a public private partnership and manages many initiatives, including public infrastructure assistance. The IEDC graciously awarded the EDCMC with a grant to pursue the Vibrant Michigan City initiative with the help of national non-profits, LISC, and the Brookings Institute.
