About Us

We’re on a mission to improve the quality of life for the citizens of DeKalb County through the responsible growth of business and industry. Our vision is to facilitate investment into making DeKalb County a premier economic driver in Northeast Indiana and in the greater Midwest region of the United States.

The DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership was named to describe the multiple entities that oversee the mission of economic development in the county.  We are a 501(C)(3), non-profit organization. The support by the “Partners” enables county leaders and officials of the cities and towns to unify and pool their resources to compete in the global economy.  The time, talent, and financial support provided are crucial to help retain and expand our existing industries and to better compete when attracting new industry.
