The Southwest Indiana Development Council was created as a gateway to economic development in Southwest Indiana. We are comprised of ten counties with miles of land available for development. Our location puts us within reach of 75% of the nation’s population as well as the ease of interconnecting transportation options. The I-69 Corridor extension, as well as the existing I-64 corridor, has the SWIDC region ready for transformation. With two interstates, rail lines, airports, and an international port, your products and supplies can get where they need to go, quickly.

If it’s fun and adventure you seek, all of our counties offer something from business retreats to activities for the whole family to enjoy. Hoosier National Forest is a treasure of Southern Indiana and the French Lick area offers resort-like relaxation with a casino, golfing and more.

Whatever industry you represent, we have the power, the logistics, and the location to meet your needs.
