READI 2.0 Official Project Application

 

READI 2.0 has launched! In September 2023, the State of Indiana and the Indiana Economic Development Corp (IEDC) announced the timeline and application process for READI 2.0 funding. This is another incredible opportunity to fund large, transformational opportunities in the Evansville Region! 

Economic development projects happening in the Evansville Region are invited to apply for project funding via this application portal. The survey is open to any project that is considered a capital or infrastructure investment; unlike the first round, the State will not allow programmatic projects in READI 2.0. 

This application will focus awards in key areas that promote our Talent EVV goals through five strategies; LiveREADI, PlayREADI, RiverREADI, TalentREADI, and BridgeREADI. Additionally, awarded projects will need to help our region achieve the KPIs set forth by the IEDC (linked here).

The READI 2.0 awards are being funded by the State of Indiana. Please review the Policy Requirements before submitting this form to make sure your project is in line with the policy before continuing. In addition, your project should be able to explain how it will advance the goals of Talent EVV, our regional strategy.

We recommend looking over the questions ahead of time and gathering the relevant information ahead of time, so you can complete the form in one sitting (via pdf here). The form does not save the work if you leave and come back to it at a later time.



Fields marked with an * are required.

Please verify that you have checked the “I'm not a robot” checkbox.
