Positioned just northeast of Indianapolis, along Interstate 69 and near Interstate 70, Anderson has ownership of the city’s utilities and therefore offers redundant power, fiber, and water at competitive prices.  Combine those amenities with an R.S. Means construction cost index of 92.7 in Anderson and 94.1 in Indianapolis (Q4 2022), the training and support of two top universities and two technical colleges, and an experienced workforce that is continuously being reconditioned to meet the needs of our growing global community, Anderson would make an exceptional home for any business.
