2 Where Business and Pleasure INSIDE Community Profile Business Environment Business Programs/Support Education Transportation Cover photo courtesy of Photography by Patrick Landers Michigan City, Indiana COMMUNITY PROFILE Nestled into the white-sand shores of Lake Michigan, Michigan City is located in the northernmost part of LaPorte County, Indiana, and is only 55 miles east of Chicago and 10 miles southwest of the Michigan stateline. Our city s economy features a sound industrial base accompanied by strong retail, service and tourism sectors. The community is well-oriented and easily accessible to the greater Chicago area America s second largest market. Our central location between Chicago and other leading Midwestern industrial and consumer markets makes Michigan City a natural location for production and distribution facilities. We are located within one-day s drive to markets such as Detroit, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Toledo. The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play. Arnold J. Toynbee, 20th Centrury British Historian 2 IT ALL WORKS HERE Michigan City

3 Work Together Visit us on quality of life the shores of Lake Michigan and imagine the possibilities. With our excellent accessibility to a diversified region, Michigan City is simply a great place to live, work and grow a business. Upon first glance, Michigan City, Indiana appears to be a typical Midwest small town. However, what this Northwest Indiana city lacks in traffic and congestion, it more than makes up in its quaint, recreational lifestyle with a lower cost of living, a slower pace and true sense of community. Situated on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and adjacent to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan City provides a never-ending menu of cultural, entertainment and recreational options. In addition to a growing main street environment with the Uptown Arts District and Arts Space project, cultural attractions include Lubeznik Center for the Arts, several local theatre groups, seasonal arts and crafts festivals, farmers market, museums, and a local zoo. Michigan City offers residents and visitors miles of National Dunes Lakeshore beaches along with several marinas, bike routes, orchards, and hiking trails. Look a little deeper and one can see the potential Michigan City, Indiana has to offer businesses and industry. With sites available for virtually any type or size of business, acreage at a fraction of the national average cost, Michigan City is located at the center of a major economic region connected to more than 80 percent of the United States population by key highways and rail systems. All of which give a new meaning to the phrase work hard, play hard. With a wide range of resources and opportunities, Michigan City allows its residents the ability to create the life and business success they desire. 3

4 Business Environment Indiana continues to gain recognition for the economic development efforts being made across the state including: Ranking First in the Midwest for Low Taxes and 10th Nationally (Tax Foundation) Best Business Climate in the Midwest and 5th Nationally (Chief Executive 2013) 2nd Most Competitive State in the Nation (Site Selection 2013) This is made possible due to a variety of factors, including the commitment of community leaders on the growth and vitality of our community. The very existence of the Economic Development Corporation Michigan City (EDCMC) is one of many examples of a commitment to growing the local economy and attracting new industry and business to the community. The EDCMC s mission is to bring together the right mix of resources including government officials, utility engineers, and the expertise of business leaders to encourage investment and support business growth. And our competitive incentive packages make Michigan City a strong contender for business location and expansion decisions. 4 IT ALL WORKS HERE Michigan City

5 BUSINESS SUPPORT EDCMC is committed to providing the resources needed for business success whether it s a company considering the area as a new location, supporting the growth of existing companies or assisting entrepreneurs working to start-up a new business.

In addition, EDCMC can work with prospective companies in identifying private or public resources necessary for a business to thrive.

The Economic Development Corporation Michigan City, Indiana (EDCMC), partners with the Michigan City Chamber of Commerce and the Greater La Porte Economic Development Corporation (GLEDC) to visit with local businesses and provide follow up information and resources based on the companies needs. The BR&E program goals are intended to: Gain an understanding of the business community s view of the local business climate Determine future expansion/relocation plans of companies in order to set up an early warning system for local action Acquaint business executives with the programs available through various economic development and government agencies to better strengthen their organization Improve the communication and strengthen relationships between local/county government and the business community Identify specific concerns and problems of the local businesses and provide effective solutions The importance of the BR&E program: A majority of jobs are created by existing firms (80 percent) Local company interaction can lead to an increase in local sales Keeping an existing business is easier than recruiting new businesses Businesses that are more competitive are more likely to remain in the community and possibly expand due to the trusted relationship 5
