The district would include all [[Indiana]] counties bordering [[Lake Michigan]], which include [[Lake County, Indiana|Lake]], [[Porter County, Indiana|Porter]] and [[LaPorte County, Indiana|LaPorte counties]]. This includes the entire Indiana shoreline on Lake Michigan (approx. 40 miles), starting where the state border intersects the Lake Michigan shoreline from the west in [[Hammond, Indiana|Hammond]] to the east in [[Michiana Shores]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite report |url=https://www.portsofindiana.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Indiana-Statewide-Econ-Impact-Report_final_082820.pdf |title=The Local and Regional Economic Impacts of the Indiana Maritime Industry |last=Martin Associates |date=August 28, 2020 |publisher=Ports of Indiana}}</ref><br />
