LETTER FROM CONEXUSNORTHEAST REGIONAL LOGISTICS COUNCIL CHAIR
Accelerating Manufacturing Excellence Through World-Class Logistics was created by leading members of the logistics users community throughout Northeast Indiana.
The logistics users community within Northeast Indiana, made up of the four modes of transportation, including air, rail, truck and water, and advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, service providers and warehouse/distribution companies, gathered and agreed unanimously on the “future initiatives” that should be implemented to provide seamless transportation solutions to Northeast Indiana. This report represents the work of each of these areas, with a strong focus on our local region.
The Conexus Indiana Logistics Council (CILC), partnering with the Northeast Indiana Partnership, the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana, local economic development groups and chambers of commerce in Northeast Indiana created the Northeast Regional Logistics Council (NERLC) and was a catalyst in creating a forum for logistics executives to discuss issues affecting their industry and to build a common agenda across all logistics sectors, including both private and public. We believe that by achieving alignment of priorities in the areas of infrastructure, public policy and workforce development Northeast Indiana will be able to maximize short-term and long-term success for the logistics sector in this region.
Accelerating Manufacturing Excellence Through World-Class Logistics has ownership by the logistics industry, ensuring that those things necessary for the Northeast Region’s success are in place to enhance the environment for companies to grow their business, create a more attractive business climate to locate in Indiana, and create high-paying jobs for citizens in this region.
If the strategies, goals and tactics developed in this plan are implemented by the private and public sectors, we believe that the Northeast Region will continue to grow its reputation as a manufacturing and logistics hub, and ensure future success.
The countless hours and dedication of the volunteer executives from NERLC provide the Conexus Indiana Logistics Council, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the Ports of Indiana, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, along with regional and local economic groups and chambers of commerce, with a strong foundation to make the goals outlined in this plan a reality. A talented and dedicated staff at Conexus Indiana and the regional and local economic groups and chambers of commerce will carry out these initiatives and will drive the implementation of the tactics necessary to ensure the plan’s success.
We look forward to continuing the conversations on how to further develop the resources and infrastructure in the Northeast Region, and will continue our work by updating the plan on a regular basis making this a “living, breathing document.” We are committed to continue creating innovation, engagement, and vision ensuring economic results and impact for our region.
Respectfully,
Geary Buchanan President, Buchanan Hauling & Rigging, Inc.Chair, Northeast Regional Logistics Council

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: NORTHEAST REGIONAL LOGISTICS COUNCIL
The Conexus Indiana Northeast Regional Logistics Council (NERLC) is a forum of 36 logistics executives and thought leaders from throughout Northeast Indiana representing the following logistics sectors: air, infrastructure, rail, trucking, warehousing/distribution, waterborne, advanced manufacturing and services firms. Logistics users are manufacturers, distributors/warehousing, and third-party providers.
NERLC is working to:
◆◆ Enhance the environment for companies in advanced manufacturing and logistics to grow their business, taking advantage of Indiana’s position at the heart of the global supply chain;
◆◆ Create a more attractive environment for manufacturing and logistics companies to relocate to or expand in the Northeast Region, thereby creating jobs and increasing State and local revenue; and
◆◆ Create high paying jobs for Hoosiers – the average wage of Indiana manufacturing and logistics jobs is more than 33% higher than the State’s median income.
PROBLEM STATEMENTThe Northeast Region’s transportation network has opportunities for improvement due to transportation “bottlenecks”; lack of direct rail service; underutilized air facilities with little international freight movement; lack of efficient mode-to-mode connectivity (e.g. road to rail; road to water; road to air; rail to water); a decaying lock and dam infrastructure; and lack of dredging that prohibits barges/ships to maximize capacity. This disconnect has created higher costs, potential environmental impacts, inefficient freight movement, loss of productivity for Northeast Region businesses, and safety impacts.
MISSION STATEMENTThe mission of the Northeast Regional Logistics Council is to foster economic growth by driving the development of the logistics industry in Northeast Indiana.
2
OBJECTIVES
1. Executive Forum: Provide a forum for Northeast Region logistics executives to discuss issues affecting the industry;
2. Infrastructure: Develop a comprehensive plan to strengthen the Northeast Region’s public and private logistics infrastructure;
3. Public Awareness: Develop paid and earned media to promote the sector;
4. Public Policy: Identify State, Federal and local public policy areas that impact the logistics industry and work with State and Federal thought leaders from government, academia and associations to enhance the sector;
5. Workforce Development: Develop and implement strategies to build the human capital needed to support the growing demand for logistics services through innovative workforce programs in the Northeast Region.
3
LOGISTICS STRATEGIES
◆◆ Increase the flow of goods originating, terminating, and adding value within the Northeast Region over the next five years, thereby, creating an increase of net new jobs and growing the logistics sector.
◆◆ Provide a broad-based forum, consisting of Northeast Region business executives throughout the logistics industry, for collectively vetting critical relevant logistics public policy issues of commonality, therefore optimizing the business climate.
◆◆ Strengthen and grow the logistics qualified workforce in the Northeast Region by creating portable skills curricula leading to academic degrees/certifications that will increase the pipeline of qualified workers over the next five years.
◆◆ Increase the public’s awareness of the importance of the logistics industry on the Northeast Region’s economy.
INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS
1. Reduce bottlenecks in the Northeast Region to improve the reliability and efficiency of freight movement leading to less congestion, reduced infrastructure repairs, and lower emissions.
2. Ensure global access by connecting Northeast Region cities based on impact and potential to Interstate-like access.
3. Create better connectivity of Indiana’s water ports via roads and rail modes and improve the reliability and efficiency of water freight movement to and from the Northeast Region.
4. Develop a fast and efficient process for unplanned economic development infrastructure needs.
5. Develop and implement transportation networks that provide direct rail, truck access and air cargo expansion leading to the improvement and establishment of multimodal and intermodal service and air cargo facilities.
4
PUBLIC POLICY GOALS
1. Ensure Federal, State and local Government do not legislate or regulate barriers to the safe, efficient, and innovative movement of goods and resources that are necessary to support the growth of the logistics sector.
2. Ensure Federal, State and local Government provide the necessary funding for the public infrastructure needed to support the efficient and cost effective operation of the Northeast Region’s logistics sector.
3. Ensure NERLC is recognized by governmental entities as a resource of first resort and the voice for the logistics industry within the Northeast Region.
PUBLIC AWARENESS GOALS
1. Develop brand awareness of NERLC.
2. Create general public understanding of logistics by ensuring that the population has a basic understanding of logistics.
3. Increase the perception of the need to improve/expand the Northeast Region’s infrastructure.
4. Highlight the Northeast Region’s logistics companies by bringing awareness to their products and services.
5. Increase the public’s understanding of the positive impact of global trade on the Northeast Region’s economy and jobs.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
1. Increase the skill levels of the Northeast Region’s logistics workers through workforce education programs.
2. Increase the upward mobility and job prospects of current and future Northeast Region logistics workers.
