Grant Overview
Indiana targets specific outcomes in local supply chain efficiency, with state data indicating that manufacturers source only 31% of inputs from within 150 miles despite concentrated automotive and agricultural equipment clusters around Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Transportation cost analyses from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation show average inbound logistics expenses consuming 8.4% of revenue for firms under 100 employees.
These patterns affect small manufacturers in the central and northern regions where proximity to livestock and grain operations could support shorter sourcing loops. Outcome metrics track reductions in delivery lead times and spoilage rates for perishable components. Demographic factors include workforce concentrations in counties with median ages above 42, correlating with established supplier relationships that resist reconfiguration.
Implementation requires applicants to submit baseline sourcing maps and projected volume shifts over 18 months. Funding phases tie disbursements to verified new supplier contracts meeting state-defined distance thresholds.
Indiana's dense interstate highway system and manufacturing density distinguish its supply chain dynamics from those in Illinois or Ohio. Unlike Colorado applications, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation.
Indiana Supply Chain Outcome Targets
Eligibility requires documented manufacturing NAICS codes and evidence of current out-of-state procurement exceeding 60% of total inputs. Application materials include supplier distance calculations using state GIS layers and letters of intent from potential local farms or processors. Reviews occur on a rolling basis with priority for proposals projecting at least 15% local sourcing increases.
Fit assessment incorporates county-level agricultural output data from Purdue University Extension to confirm availability of suitable partners. The framework evaluates outcome feasibility against existing rail and highway access points in each applicant's location.
