Indiana Counties Think Regionally

Click here to read how Indiana counties are thinking about regionalism.

Sam Frain is president of the county council in Pulaski County, one of the most sparsely populated counties in Indiana, and he has been around long enough to see the benefits of multi-county planning and cooperation for counties the size of Pulaski.

"I really believe when you get in a region like Pulaski County, Fulton County and White County, collaborations have to work. Pulaski County, Fulton County, Jasper County, Starke County can't work individually. You have to collaborate with agencies in other counties to be able to function. We can't afford to operate on our own. They can't operate on their own," he said.

"We're looking at a multitude of things that are going to have to be done multi-county if they're going to be accomplished in the future."
