Public and private sector partnershipsmerge at the Crossroads of America,where streets leading to world class uni-versities are lined with artwork, and smallbusinesses are interspersed between majormanufacturing hubs.

Vigo County’s business communityexemplifies diversity with the latest cen-sus data showing 20 industrial sectorsrepresented in employment opportunitiesfor nearly 110,000 citizens, not to men-tion those in a dozen surrounding com-munities. If these various sectors seem aninterwoven tapestry to visitors, it’s no co-incidence. Partnerships between manufac-turing plants and banks have long beennurtured alongside institutions such asuniversities, museums and health care fa-cilities. These relationships helped leadstate officials to recognize Vigo Countywith an "A" grade in arts, entertainmentand recreation as measured by the Indiana

Community Assets Inventory and Rank-ings 2012 performed by Ball State Uni-versity’s Center for Business andEconomic Research.

Whether here for business, recreation,or to close on a new home, visitors andnewcomers alike will find much to dohere in this comfortably bustling Mid-western hub.

A Portrait by the NumbersAs the primary Metropolitan Service

Area between St. Louis, Indianapolis,Lafayette and Evansville, Terre Hauteserves as a regional hub for employment.The Bureau of Labor Statistics reportsabout 18,000 workers commuting dailyinto Vigo County from its neighbors, partof a diversified labor pool spanning multi-ple categories in remarkably equal por-tions. Health care professionals and thosein social assistance comprised the largestsegment with 16.7 percent of the work-force, and an average wage-per-job of$40,293. Manufacturing employment

comprised 15 percent of the workforcewith 7,539 employees and average wagesbetween $50,000 and $60,000 per year.Meanwhile, 6,313 people work in retail,with another 4,920 in accommodation andfood service.

This thriving retail and restaurantscene is explained in part by the 3,300 ed-ucational jobs serving nearly 20,000 col-lege students, who augment thepopulation both economically and cultur-ally. Public university campuses here in-clude Indiana State University and IvyTech Community College’s Wabash Val-ley branch, while private institutions in-clude nationally ranked Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology and St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, as well as HarrisonCollege. Students from these universitiesare seen by their neighboring homeown-ers every day, whether working part-timejobs at the mall or volunteering in com-munity service projects. Likewise, theirprofessors mix with business leaders reg-ularly at social functions and community

BUSINESS


commercial enterprises as the DowntownFarmers Market.

For nearly two decades, the commu-nity’s retail power has been nationallyrecognized. First noted in 1995 by theSurvey of Buying Power as the second-best spot in America for per-capita retailsales, Vigo County continues to drawcommerce from a 60-mile radius in everydirection. Whether traveling to participatein one of Arts Illiana’s outdoor sculpturepresentations, or coming to earn a gradu-ate degree in accounting, the constantflow of traffic in and out of the commu-nity adds up to substantial value for all in-volved.

Making More Happen NowWith some 7,500 people working in

the manufacturing sector, Vigo Countyproduces an eclectic range of materialseach year used across the globe. More ison the way.

The New Year holiday of 2012brought about 234 reasons to celebratewith the announcement that California-based pharmaceutical company Nant-Works will locate in a plant formerlyoccupied by Pfizer Inc. just south of Terre

Haute. This $120 million investment overthe next five years is expected to bring234 new jobs to the community by 2016,filling the 211-acre property with profes-sionals ranging from engineers and IT tomarketing and production.

Vigo County’s manufacturing com-munity includes a number of Fortune 500companies including General Electric’sUnison Engine Components and Tri-Re-manufacturing, as well as Sony DADC,ThyssenKrupp Presta, Novelis and AisinSeiki.

And there’s certainly room to grow.The Terre Haute International Airportserves as a primary back-up to the Indi-anapolis International Airport and shares

facilities with the 181st Intelligence Wingof the Indiana Air National Guard. In ad-dition to one of the largest runways in thestate, the facility adjacent to Interstate 70,Indiana 46 and 42, also features turn-keyproperties from hangars to office space.Just this past year, the airport has under-gone a significant transformation with theprivatization of its Fixed Base Operatorunit and subsequent partnership withHoosier Aviation, LLC, which now offersan array of services to private and com-mercial pilots alike. Whether a business islooking for a potential logistics partner, ora professional needs quick transportationwithin the region, local aviators offer analternative to commercial airlines found

in major metropolitan facilities. These offerings are in addition to the

county’s industrial park which contains400 acres ready for future developmentand more than 7,000 acres along the bor-der of Vigo and Clay counties. Largely re-claimed surface mine, the property isclose to the Terre Haute International Air-port and runs adjacent to Interstate 70along Indiana 42. State economic devel-opment officials have certified it a "mega-site" for future industrial growth.

Still Going StrongWith more than 900 members, the

Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce isone of the strongest in the state. Andwhile the U.S. Small Business Adminis-tration estimates less than 66 percent ofbusinesses survive the two-year mark,Vigo County hosts 120 with a full centuryof operation. Meanwhile, more than 40ribbons were cut by city officials for busi-nesses opened last year.

The vibrancy of Terre Haute’s down-town is palpable in street festivals such asthe Downtown Block Party and Miracleon 7th Street, Blues at the Crossroads andthe Downtown Farmers Market. Interna-tional conglomerates, such as Hulman &Co., share space with entrepreneurs atthese events, patronized by college stu-dents and the factory workers with whomthey intern.

Newcomers to the downtown mightnot recognize the resurgence, but a broadnetwork of community activists can cer-tainly tell the story of how Terre Haute re-cently built a world class children’smuseum next to two new hotels, just upWabash Avenue from renovated storefronts, surrounded by the outdoor sculp-tures of Arts Corridor, all connected by a

cross-community trail system. As travelers enter Terre Haute’s city

limits heading west on U.S. 40, they’regreeted by a Clabber Girl sign and clockbefore passing Rose-Hulman Institute ofTechnology. Founded in 1850 by FrancisHulman as a wholesale grocery store,Hulman & Co. has expanded into its thirdcentury as an international conglomerate,

although still family-owned after fivegenerations, still in control of the famousIndianapolis Motor Speedway, and stillmaking the Clabber Girl baking powder itbegan producing in 1899.

But while here, even newcomerscan see that a lot has changed sincethose early days, and more yet is stillto come.

Indians who first occupied the banks of the Wabash. French explorers, missionaries and fur

traders were the first white men to arrive on the scene, and the Wabash soon became the great

trade route linking the lower Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. February 22, 1832

ground was broken and construction began. The canal reached Terre Haute by 1848.

Why is downtown Terre Haute called the Crossroads of America?At about the same time, U.S. Highway 41 was commissioned between Chicago, Illinois and

Miami, Florida. This north-south highway through downtown Terre Haute followed Seventh

Street at the time, and met U.S. 40, which followed Wabash Avenue, the main east-west street

in town. The Seventh and Wabash intersection thus became known as the “Crossroads of

America,” an appellation now memorialized with a historical marker at that corner.

Where do you shop in Terre Haute? Honey Creek Mall followed by many other stores, shops and small boutiques in

every area of the town.

How is Coca Cola related to Terre Haute Indiana?The original curved Coca-Cola bottle was designed and first produced by the Root Glass

Company, which was based in Terre Haute. In the mid-1990s, Coca-Cola honored this part of

its past by introducing a short-lived Coke bottle-shaped can that was sold only in Terre Haute

and one other city.
