The Office of Community and Rural Affairs along with Dubois Strong and the Town of Ferdinand will be presenting the Mobel property in Ferdinand as an Indiana Prime Site on Friday, February 23 at 10:30 a.m. EDT at the Ferdinand Town Hall, 2065 Main Street.
The Indiana Site Certified program certifies sites that are ready for economic development. Communities of any size may apply for the designation through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).
Indiana Site Certified sites are featured on Indiana’s Site Selector Database and will be included in the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s (IEDC) marketing materials.
Indiana recognizes three tiers of readiness: Silver, Gold, and Prime. Ferdinand will be designated as Prime. The Prime tier builds upon Gold by requiring 30 contiguous acres, a location no more than 2.5 miles from a state highway, and an archaeological investigation.
Indiana Site Certified sites are featured on Indiana’s Site Selector Database and will be included in the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s (IEDC) marketing materials. The physical address of the Ferdinand/Mobel Indiana Prime Site is W 23rd Street/Industrial Park Road.
