Administrative Resources association was born with a mission, a mission to be the ultimate resource for its member cities and towns in the realm of community and economic development. ARa is powered by a crew of up to six dedicated individuals and proudly owned by 10 Indiana Cities. They're on a mission to turn communities into vibrant, thriving hubs in central and southern Indiana.
ARa, the outgrowth of Lilly Endowment's generosity back in 1973, used Indiana's Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, to become the vehicle for these cities to join hands and co-own a municipal consulting team to serve their residents better. The grand vision was to create a united, cost-effective dream team of experts in community development, offering their assistance to all who needed it. Fifty years later, Ara is proud to have secured and managed hundreds of millions of state and federal dollars that were wisely invested to create stronger communities.
