The Center for Economic and Community Development administers Ball State University's Building Better Communities program. The center's staff promotes and coordinates the initiative on campus, fosters community partnerships, processes funding applications, maintains a database of projects, and conducts customized economic development projects for communities.

Building Better Communities is a university-wide initiative designed to spur economic development and improve the quality of life in Indiana by matching Ball State's expertise with the varied needs of cities and towns throughout the state. The effort is supported by funds from the Indiana Legislature.
