the Indiana economic development corporation.
(d) When a county establishes a development authority under
subsection (a) with another unit, any municipality in the county does
not also become a member of the development authority, unless the
fiscal body of the municipality also adopts the preliminary development
plan prepared under section 3 of this chapter for the development
authority.
(e) A county or municipality may become a member of the
development authority under this section only if the county or
municipality is not a member of a development authority under IC 36-7.6. If a county or municipality is a member of another development
authority established under IC 36-7.6, the county or municipality must

Bureau become members of the central Indiana regional development
authority. If Marion County and the city of Indianapolis are required to
become members of the central Indiana regional development authority
under this subsection, Marion County and the city of Indianapolis do
not incur any financial obligation because of the fact they have become

relation to the central Indiana regional development authority only by
voluntarily entering into an agreement to undertake the financial
obligation.
