Station Area | County Comparison
As part of the Double Track Project, the Dune Park TDD (297.2 acres) includes an upgraded station platform and parking lot. The station is located at the gateway to the Indiana Dunes near the Indiana Dunes State Park entrance and major exits off Interstate 94, the Indiana Toll Road, US 20, US 12, and Indiana 49. The proximity of this area to the Indiana Dunes National Park and Indiana Dunes State Park means that the TDD boundary can positively impact economic growth and development in this area for the benefit of commuters, residents, and visitors. City Economic Development Goals: • Embrace the value of the recreational setting and use it to guide development • Plan for capital infrastructure improvements, support favorable development along US-20 and IN-49, and encourage mixed-use, missing middle and upscale housing in the transit development district • Develop creative strategies for parcels with the highest potential for community good • Develop policies for the use of tax abatement and tax increment financing (including transit development district)
