The economic impact of efficiently transporting goods and people in and out of an area is overwhelming. Access to multiple forms of transportation is critically important to the needs of a diverse group of businesses and industries.

With easy and fast access to a host of interstate highways, the Indianapolis International Airport and major industrial rail yards, Hendricks County is uniquely suited to serve the transportation needs of any business or industry.

Business and industrial demand for shipping and freight handling, coupled with its central location, has made Indianapolis International Airport one of the fastest growing cargo airports in the United States. Both Federal Express and the United States Postal Service have chosen the airport as a location for large shipping hubs.

Hendricks County is accessible from I-465 (which circumnavigates the IMA or Indianapolis Metropolitan Area), I-70 (which runs east and west connecting the IMA with St. Louis and Cincinnati), I-74 (which also runs east and west) and I-65 (which runs north and south connecting the IMA with Chicago), not-to-mention many surface roads and state highways such as U.S. 136 and U.S. 40.

Excellent opportunities and outstanding access to transportation and shipping make Hendricks County a true "Crossroads of America."
