The growth of Hendricks County in recent years has been phenomenal and today it is the second fastest growing county in the state. This growth is due in large part to an intricate network of highway, air and rail transportation systems available in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Hendricks County is served by multiple interstates such as I-65, I-465, I-74 and I-70 that connect important destinations across the country.

Air service to locations worldwide is provided by Indianapolis International Airport, whose new mid-field terminal will be completed in 2007. The airport was one of only two in the United States among the world’s 50 largest where cargo traffic grew at a double-digit rate in 2000.
