FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Digital Resource Highlights Economic Potential

BLOOMINGTON, IN — The Bloomington Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) is excited to announce the launch of new community profile pages for Bloomington, Ellettsville, and Monroe County. Now live on the BEDC website, these demographic tools provide a comprehensive, interactive platform to view vital information and resources for site selectors, prospective investors, and residents interested in involvement in these dynamic communities.

Developed in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency, the new community profiles offer an easy-to-navigate interface with in-depth data on local demographics. Users can easily explore the defining characteristics of each community that contribute to the region’s success as a place to live, work, and grow a business.

“We know this new digital tool will help businesses and individuals gain a deeper understanding of what makes our area such an ideal location for economic development,” said Stacie Marotta, Communications & Membership Director at BEDC. “By offering an engaging, accessible presentation, we hope to attract more investment, create jobs, and foster a stronger sense of community. Key decision makers considering expanding, relocating or starting a business, or an individual seeking to simply know more about the area, these profiles will provide the essential information they need.”

The new community profiles include key economic indicators and resources that highlight the region's strengths in areas like education, workforce, housing, and more. With these profiles, businesses and investors can easily assess the community’s fit for expansion or relocation, while individuals can gain a deeper appreciation for the opportunities available for residents.
These essential tools reflect BEDC’s continued commitment to fostering economic growth by attracting and retaining businesses to the region. The enhanced data helps tell the story of a thriving, forward-thinking community ready to embrace new opportunities and contribute to long-term success.
