Welcome to Eastern Indiana Development District

The Eastern Indiana Developement District currently serves the six county district of Fayette, Henry, Randolph, Rush, Union, and Wayne counties in East Central Indiana. The I 70 corridor through the region is recognized as a common economic development tool.

EIDD is a partnership between local governments, economic development offices, the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, OCRA, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Indiana Department of Transportation, and local businesses.
