READY TO MAKE AN 'IMPaCT' FOR COMMUNITIES

Indiana's Shelby County and the City of Shelbyville are
already reaping benefits from a partnership with Rose-Hulman
to create home-grown entrepreneurial talent, educate future
innovators, and attract manufacturing- and technology-based
businesses.
The partnership was announced after city
and county officials approved $186,000 to support
the Innovative Model: Positioning Communities

for Transformation (IMPaCT 2016). The program
will help attract talent and business, while gaining strength
from expertise of Rose-Hulman faculty, staff, and
students.
"This partnership has the potential to be a
game-changer for our community's ability to retain, grow,
and attract companies and talent," states Chris King (CE,
2002), past president of the Shelby County
Development Corporation.
