Congressman Frank J. Mrvan

Today’s announcement is a testament to the vision, determination, and partnership of Governor Braun, our Indiana General Assembly, Mayor McDermott, leaders from the business community, and organized labor who worked together to demonstrate Northwest Indiana’s unique strengths and deep economic ties to the great City of Chicago.

This decision validates our region’s longstanding commitment to collaboration among federal, state, and local governments to invest in the infrastructure necessary to create a thriving economic environment. From our world-class transportation network, including the recently expanded South Shore Line, to critical investments in water infrastructure and environmental improvements, Northwest Indiana has proven that strategic public investment can attract transformational economic development opportunities.

The relocation of the Chicago Bears to Indiana represents a historic economic development victory for Northwest Indiana and our state. Beyond the excitement of welcoming one of the National Football League’s flagship franchises, this project will generate thousands of construction jobs, create new permanent employment opportunities, spur private investment, increase tourism, and expand the tax base that supports local communities. The economic benefits of this development will be felt not only in Northwest Indiana, but throughout the state for generations to come.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I look forward to doing all I can to build upon this success, support continued infrastructure investments, and ensure that Northwest Indiana remains one of the most attractive destinations in America for businesses, families, and economic opportunity.

We are proud to welcome this iconic franchise to Indiana and, as we say in Northwest Indiana, to ‘da Region.’
