Hancock County, Indiana and Central Indiana share a proud tradition of high-quality manufacturing and constant adaptations to changing technology needs, and we have a workforce with the skills and grit today’s manufacturers require for success.

In addition to being at the center of more than 1.3 million workers within an hour’s drive, Hancock County has a utility infrastructure robust enough to stand up to the most demanding processes, with plenty of excess water and wastewater capacity, affordable electricity and gas, and a fiber network delivering up to 100 gigabits of service.

“The Hancock Economic Development Council has provided advice, direction and key introductions that have facilitated Photon’s growth in Hancock County. We have never had to wait for an answer from the HEDC office. Connie Schmidt has been very responsive and proactive. Skip Kuker went out of his way to make sure that we had all our questions answered and guided us in preparation for a recently granted tax abatement. Skip’s successor, Randy Sorrell has also been very proactive and has offered to help us in any way that he can.”
