By Jennifer Zartman Romano
According to a report released today by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation this morning, Indiana ranks sixth nationally and "Best in the Midwest" for a best place to do business.
A recent report in Area Development Online magazine cites industry consultants and site selectors for recognizing Indiana as a top location to do business in the nation.
"Our success is a direct result of creating a comprehensive economic development infrastructure that stimulates growth at each stage of the business cycle, from R&D to ROI," said E. Mitchell Roob, Indiana Secretary of Commerce.
Sitting ahead of Indiana nationally were Tennessee, Texas, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia.
When making their decisions on best states for economic development, consultants and site selectors considered eight, equally-weighted criteria, including: lowest business costs, most business friendly, corporate tax environment, overall labor climate, work force development programs, fast-track permitting, rail and highway accessibility and shovel-ready sites.
