Constellation of Starke Region Reps Head to Indy to Prep for Stellar Presentation

Constellation of Starke region representatives will be making their way down to Indianapolis today to do a final run through of their Stellar presentation before they show it to program officials Tuesday afternoon.

The hour-long presentation is one of the final steps in the Regional Stellar Designation Program. In addition to that, reps will also participate in a Q&A for about a half an hour afterward.

Information has been incorporated to show the progress the region has made in the past as well as the plans for the future. Additionally, the Constellation of Starke team has once again worked with the local creatives at Mirth & Whimsy to include a video in their presentation.

It will expand upon the Constellation of Starke’s Regional Development Plan, introduce officials to various community members making a difference and provide them with a glimpse of the region, all without having to leave their seats.

Once the presentation and Q&A are through, the next big date to lookout for is Thursday, December 5th. That’s when regions will find out whether or not they’ve received this year’s designation.

Whichever region wins will get to participate in a Stellar-bration on December 19th. Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch is expected to be in attendance for that.

Then, in February, the designated region will participate in a Stellar Kick-Off meeting in order to review projects.

Non-designated regions will participate in a feedback meeting to discuss ways to improve for the next round and to talk about Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-eligible projects that could move forward with available funds.
