A 90-minute drive to downtown Chicago; In the heart of Indiana, the "Crossroads of America"; Midway between the east coast and the Rocky Mountains; Within one day’s drive of one-third of the United States population; Excellent service from class-one and short line railroads. Starke County, Indiana is all of this and more!

The Starke County Economic Development Foundation delivers on our promises to make your move here easier than you ever thought possible.

We have:

• Built and leased back spec buildings
