Location Overview: Southwestern Indiana is a vibrant and progressive region that offers world-class assets in arts and culture, amusements, hospitality, sports and recreation. Southwest Indiana encompasses nine counties, including Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, Spencer, Warrick, Perry, Dubois, Pike and Knox. The region features all the amenities of a large, bustling metropolis while maintaining a friendly, small town atmosphere - a unique balancing act of extraordinary contrasts - but one that makes the region a remarkably flexible location filled with a wealth of opportunities and options.
