Northwest Indiana goes technical!
Here in Northwest Indiana we are at the forefront of many things and are always growing and changing. For instance, it has been reported that $4.7 million has been allocated for Green Jobs in Northwest Indiana - that is U.S. Department of Labor money to retrain Steel workers in the region to become wind farm and solar energy technicians to ensure the region is at the forefront of emerging technologies.
Speaking of which, the internet is one of them - more and more Northwest Indiana communities and local governments are getting online! Which asides from helping keep up with the modern day also helps them go green by saving paper to post important information for residents online!
However, do not think that a local government website as just a boring information portal. Far from it. What the rest of the world has been enjoying for years (dynamic, exciting websites with rich content and e-commerce etc) local governments are just catching up!
Here in Northwest Indiana government websites in Porter and Lake Counties are great, with Porter County leading the way. In Valparaiso for instance, their delightful local government website offers the ability for you to pay some of your utility bills online!
Speaking of getting online, in real estate there has been a dramatic shift of homebuyers shopping for homes online first according to the National Association of Realtors. For instance, back in 1999 the usual yard signs, open houses etc were the traditional methods of finding out if a home was for sale, with only 37% of people shopping for homes online - compared to 2009's 90%! What a difference a decade makes!
