The South Shore Metropolitan and Ivy Tech State College Northwest Regional Issues Luncheons present speakers with a focus on economic and business issues that affect the economic development and quality of life in the Calumet region. These luncheons provide a venue where discussions take place on how NW Indiana communities can attract and retain businesses, which in turn provide jobs and increase economic opportunity for their residents. Through a focused and committed regional economic plan, the natural advantages of the South Shore and NW Indiana area can be discussed, refined and developed to enhance the prosperity of the region.
