CRI is celebrating 25 years of service to Northeast Indiana

The Community Research Institute(CRI) is one of IPFW's commitments at the Fort Wayne campus to the growth and development of northeast Indiana. The Institute serves as one of the portals linking the academic expertise at IPFW with the needs of the public and non-profit sectors in northeast Indiana by providing research and analytical support in the areas of socio-economic data, urban planning, municipal finance, public policy and economic development.

Information is available on CRI's web site on various economic measures regarding the local economy such as employment and income and other area economic data. Also available on this web site is access to CRI's reports, the "TOP 100" (or major employers) list, and a list of other local and national economic resources. CRI also maintains a separate web site specific to Allen County demographics which pertain to children and is sponsored by the United Way of Allen County, Indiana and relates to their Success by 6 program as well as maintaining economic data on the 11-county Northeast Indiana region. In addition, CRI played a major role in the recent Indiana Commission on Local Government Reform. John Stafford, director of CRI, was part of this blue-ribbon commission, chaired by former Governor Joseph E. Kernan and Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard.
