Urban Enterprise Association

The Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) program was established under Ind. Code 5-28-15 to promote investment and increased economic activity in some of the most distressed urban areas around the state.

The Urban Enterprise Association consists of up to twelve members. Two members are appointed by the Governor to include: one state legislator whose district includes all or part of the enterprise zone and one representative of the corporation, who is not a voting member of the U.E.A. Six members are appointed by the Mayor to include: one representative from the Planning Commission, one representative from the Department of Planning and Redevelopment, two representatives of business (one manufacturing) in the Urban Enterprise Zone, one representative of organized labor from the building trades that represent construction workers, and one resident of the Urban Enterprise Zone. Four appointments are made by the City Council, including one member of the body whose district includes all or part of the Urban Enterprise Zone, one representative of a business located in the Urban Enterprise Zone, and two residents of the Urban Enterprise Zone who must not be members of the same political party.

Meetings: 6:00 PM on the third Monday of each month in the Access LaPorte County Conference room, located at 301 E. 8th St. Michigan City, IN 46360.
