LaPorteCounty.Biz Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Brokers

A warm welcome for “the single best source for industrial location prospects!”

LaPorteCounty.Biz hosted the first annual Broker Excursion, an economic development event attended by 35 industrial real estate brokers, investors and consultants from the Chicagoland, Indianapolis and South Bend areas. The two-day event showcased available industrial and commercial properties in northern La Porte County, and highlighted the business advantages of the county as well.

A reception at the Lubeznik Center on August 2nd provided networking opportunities for local industrial and commercial real estate agents. On August 3rd, participants enjoyed golf, charter fishing, lunch at the Blue Chip Casino Hotel and Conference Center, a presentation and tour of properties, and new marketing material.

"Real estate brokers are the single best source for external industrial location prospects," said John Regetz, Executive Director of the Michigan City Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC). “Events such as our Brokers Excursion effectively generate economic development prospects by connecting the right people with the right opportunities.”

"Our recreational attractions, quality industrial sites and great business climate drew these site selectors to our community," said Tim Gropp, Executive Director of the Greater La Porte Economic Development Corporation (GLEDC). “We have already received several call-backs on properties and opportunities.”

Local economic development officials assisted with guiding the participants during activities. La Porte County Council President Jerry Cooley acknowledged the value of the countywide participation as initiated by LaPorteCounty.Biz. “The county is working together to bring in and retain the right kind of businesses,” he said. “We’re recognizing that what is good for the county is good for our cities.”
