READI 2.0 Redevelopment & Art Initiative

The IEDC has launched the READI 2.0 Redevelopment & Art Initiative.  The $250 million state-wide funding made available through Lilly Endowment Inc. will advance and support two transformative initiatives focused on: (1) systemic community challenges associated with deteriorating, vacant, abandoned and/or blighted properties statewide; and (2) elevating the vitality of Indiana’s arts and cultural community through regional investments that benefit every resident’s quality of life, retain citizens and attract future generations of Hoosiers.

Total Appropriation:                                  $250,000,000

Blight Reduction & Redevelopment          $185,000,000

Arts & Culture Initiative                                 $65,000,000
