The Vibrant Michigan City economic inclusive initiative will unveil its new playbook this week.

The Economic Development Corporation Michigan City, the Brookings Institution and Local Initiative Support Services collaborated with local leaders and community members on the economic plan for revitalizing the challenged West Side, Midtown and East Side neighborhoods in Michigan City.

The playbook will be launched at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the HOPE Center at 222 McClelland Ave. The public is invited to attend the plan’s unveiling.

“While this is the final step of the playbook process, this is the first step of making a true impact on these areas that is rooted in real research, data, discussions and expert guidance,” said EDCMC Executive Director Clarence Hulse. “We invite all of our community members to hear first-hand about this unprecedented effort, what has led us here and where we are going next.”
