WHIN Awards $50,000 Grant to cfpc
Wabash Heartland Innovation Network (WHIN) has awarded $50,000 to support the Forward Thinking Leadership Initiative and Aspirations in Action efforts. The initiatives align with WHIN’s mission to create thriving communities and set the stage for economic development and growth. Three areas of aspiration (Broadband, Housing, and Downtown Development) will benefit from the WHIN grant, including support for a Main Street Winamac director.
Community foundations in the WHIN region have been partners in the WHIN project as it developed a unique model for regional development over the past several years. Funded initially with a Lilly Endowment Inc. grant, WHIN’s goal has been to cultivate a prosperous ecosystem that empowers globally-competitive businesses to plant and grow in the Wabash Heartland; and to make its region the global epicenter of digital agriculture and next-generation manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT).
