Cover Story: Indiana’s Next Frontier

As Indiana charts a new era of economic growth, data centers are emerging as a powerful opportunity. Supporters point to the potential for major investment, new infrastructure, high-paying jobs and increased tax revenue that can benefit communities for decades. From strengthening the state’s technology ecosystem to helping attract additional business development, these projects are fueling conversations about how Indiana can position itself at the forefront of the digital economy.

The latest edition of BizVoice® also contains several additional features. They include:

The Wellness Advantage: Not long ago, workplace wellness was viewed as the dictionary definition of a fringe benefit – something nice to have alongside holiday gatherings, casual Fridays and free coffee. Today, corporate wellness programs have become something far more strategic. And companies not offering them are likely falling behind in the talent war.

The Northeast Edge: For businesses, residents and visitors alike, DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble and Steuben counties are firmly “in their corner” – geographically, in Indiana’s northeast corner, and through the workplace cultures, quality of life amenities and community spirit that define the region. Agricultural roots, manufacturing muscle, scenic parks and historic landmarks help tell the story of this four-county area.

‘Fair’-Minded Leader: The Indiana State Fairgrounds may be best known for summer traditions, but its impact extends well beyond the midway and livestock barns. New Indiana State Fair Commission Executive Director Ray Allison discusses how the venue blends heritage, education and year-round business activity to help drive the state forward.

Online Exclusive – The Human Connection: In an era of crowded inboxes and constant digital noise, a real face can still make the difference in how messages are received. Bryan Kelley of Spokenote explores why video communication assists organizations in building trust, personalizing important information and moving people to action.
