Southern Indiana Regional Development Authority (RDA) approved 21 projects to receive funding from the $45 million Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) monies allocated by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) – and that includes $2 million for the York Woods Crossing development in the City of Austin.

The allocations were announced during the December 6, 2024 RDA Public Meeting, which was held at New Albany City Hall, 142 E. Main St. in New Albany. “Today is the culmination of hard work, community engagement, and partnerships going back more than a year and a half,” said RDA Chair Dana Huber. “The RDA and its team have been working tirelessly with the community and our partners at the state to get us here today. We have so much potential in our region, and these READI investments only catalyze the growth and development.”
