Benton County Economic Development Working to improve quality of life and place for Benton County residents and businesses.

Beginning January 1, 2010 the Benton County, Indiana Amended Capital Improvement Plan was adopted to specify the use of revenues received by the county from the economic development income tax (EDIT). These revenues were planned to fund several different economic development projects including the funding of a Benton County Economic Development office. With the retention and expansion of our local business being the primary focus for the office, the Benton County Commissioners, Bryan Berry, Leon Cyr, and Kevin Leuck, hired a full-time Economic Development Director and a part-time Administrative Assistant.

What a year it's been! Economic Development is so much more than I ever imagined! It encompasses so many areas other than businesses. It's housing, childcare, & schools, it's water, parks, & theaters, it's food security, mental health & healthcare. It's partnerships, relationships, and involvement in the community. It's transportation, infrastructure, environment and blight clearance. It's grants, training, & education. It's also taking the time to celebrate the wins, plan for the future, & prepare for the next generations. Here's a little glimpse into my last year of READI, KIRPC, KIRAG, PRF, GLC, WHIN, WVPA, WhatsUp247, Chamber, Discover Oxford, TAF, OCRA & BCIHS. I'm proud to do all I can for Benton County!

Sometimes this job literally leads you to a field of dreams! Thankful for the OCRA Engagement Summit that led me to Huntingburg Indiana! Appreciate former Mayor Denny Spinner taking me on a tour of their beautiful Stellar community and the oldest (built in 1894) operating ballpark in the country where A League of Their Own was filmed!

Last week took on a little different scenery but was still heavily focused on economic development! It's so important to refresh and gain new perspectives from some of the best across the country! This event was packed full of excellent speakers, teachings and tips. I'm so fortunate to have been able to attend and am committed to applying what I learned to continue to grow Benton County!

Fair week was great! Thank you to our volunteers, our Board Members and everyone that stopped by our display!
