 We’re glad you found the world wide web home for Region III-A Economic Development District & Regional Planning Commission. Region III-A is a regional unit of government in Northeast Indiana, formed and operating under the Regional Planning Commission statute of the Indiana Code. Region III-A also operates as an economic development district through a continuing planning grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA). Most recently, Region III-A has become a rural planning organization (RPO) through an annual planning grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation.
Formed in 1974, the organization currently serves the Northeast Indiana counties of Huntington, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley, many of the border counties of Allen County, Indiana (Fort Wayne). Region III-A is governed by a thirty-four member board of directors and six member executive board, all are appointed by the member counties and municipalities contained within the region, with one appointment from the Governor of the State of Indiana. Activities of Region III-A can be grouped into four primary categories: Community Development; Economic Development; Housing Programs and Transportation Planning
Region III-A seeks to provide cost-effective and specialized knowledge and assistance to its member counties and municipalities. We also serve as an efficient regional point-of-contact for numerous state and federal agencies, including the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs, Indiana Econoic Development Corporation, Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana Housing Finance Authority, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Economic Development Administration and others.
