Indiana's Lt. Governor is hosting a roundtable in Parke County Tuesday.

Suzanne Crouch, Lieutenant Governor of Indiana with Denny Spinner, Executive Director, Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs and David Terrel, Executive Director, Indiana Communities Institute (BSU) will meet with Parke County community leaders for the 'Thriving Rural Communities' Roundtable.

Tuesday's event is set for 2:00 pm at the Turkey Run State Park Inn- Strauss Room, 8102 E. Park Road, in Marshall.

According to a report issued by Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research titled “The State of the Rural Economy in Indiana", several Indiana communities are poised for growth as Indiana’s economy continues to thrive. In less than six years - from 2017 to the present - Indiana has attracted almost $5 billion more in capital investment than it did in the previous 12 years combined. 

Parke County is one of the communities in the report poised for growth. To learn why certain rural communities are succeeding and to find out what these communities need to thrive, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch is conducting a series of roundtable discussions with civic leaders in communities around the state.

The Marshall event will be the fourth of six ‘Thriving Rural Communities’ Roundtables around the state.
