Southwest Indiana business leaders share common goals of long term economic growth and the creation of wealth for the region.

Project GREEN is an ideal movement around which business leaders can and should unite to create the critical mass that will allow the region to assert itself as a true energy leader.

Wayne Parke, a retired coal executive and member of the the initial advisory committee for Project GREEN, was skeptical when asked to join the initiative, but he quickly realized the project had the potential to “make Southwest Indiana the Silicon Valley of energy!”

Why should businesses be involved? Because…

• Southwest Indiana is a long-time global leader in energy supply, product development and manufacturing;

• Strategic collaboration among committed and engaged business leaders allows for assets to be leveraged and provides for a more robust energy business cluster; and

• The development and deployment of innovative market-driven solutions to current and future energy challenges create significant economic benefits in business expansion and job creation.

Executives are encouraged to align their energy efficiency and product development strategies with Project GREEN’s Vision and Initiatives to maximize their opportunities for future growth and expansion in the energy industry.
