"The Grant County Economic Growth Council has been an incredible help to our efforts to bring a wind farm to Grant County. When we first starting looking at the area as a place to do business, the Growth Council team were the first people I got in touch with. Their knowledge of the community helped us quickly find a title company, an excellent local attorney, and was a big help in our initial outreach efforts to the landowners. The Growth Council has a unique ability to make big things happen in Grant County while keeping lighthearted and personable attitudes throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend the Growth Council team to anyone looking to relocate in Indiana. Grant County has been a great place for us to do business."
