INITIATIVES
Wabash Economic Growth Alliance, Inc., WEGA, is a private, 501c3 non-profit, focusing on economic development in rural communities.
Today’s economic growth efforts are more competitive than ever. Most growing communities have strategic plans and full programs of initiatives to compete in the marketplace. Achieving sustainable growth is a long-term effort that takes many years of investment to foster. In this environment rural communities require similar plans and programs to remain viable. We believe, in the age of workplace mobility, rural communities are the best places to live and work. They are, in fact, one of Indiana’s untapped competitive advantages. With strategic investment thousands of small towns can become centers of economic growth.
We are innovating grass roots tools to help foster growth in Fountain County, Indiana and the surrounding region.
