The jobs that have replaced them don't pay as well.

My really strong belief is that the future is with people who are entrepreneurs, who decide to start a business in Northwest Indiana that will determine what our future is.

And we've got the lakefront, which is unique. We just have to figure out how to be able to use it.

That's a fairly high-paying industry. But at this point, it hasn't taken off yet.

And those don't pay as well.

We've gotten 11 companies with a total of close to 800 jobs (since 1998). That doesn't include expansions, either. We're making progress. We've got the parks, and I think we're as prepared as a small community like ours can be.
