There is no surprise that Southwest Indiana, including Evansville, is gaining more recognition of choice location due to the proposed construction of I-69. The I-69 extension will give companies here an easy north-south route while Interstate 64 will continue to serve their east-west route needs. According to David Mathews, a long time real estate appraiser, Evansville is the most economical place to be when all things are considered - from government incentives and cost of living expenses to costs to establish and run an operation. Mathews explains that site locations today are being made based on a community's:

• Affordability of housing 
• Availability of reliable and skilled labor and work force training
• Quality of life 
• Recreational and cultural opportunities 
• Crime rate 
• Quality of schools 
• Climate
• Short commute times
• A local airport that serves major hubs 
• Good media outlets 

I don't know about you, but this sounds to me like Evansville is the place to be.
