Conner Insurance Expands Indianapolis, Indiana, Operations Center

12/23/2014
Conner Insurance, Inc., a provider of custom employee benefits and commercial insurance, plans to expand its operations center, creating up to 23 new jobs by 2019 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The company will invest $1.07 million to lease and equip its 10,000 square-foot offices at 8445 Keystone Crossing in Indianapolis. Designed to attract and develop top talent within the industry, the company’s growth will allow it to expand its corporate clientele across the Midwest.

“Spurred by a Hoosier business climate tailored for success, Conner Insurance will be able to continue our growth pattern for the next several years,” said Ben Conner, CEO of Conner Insurance. “This support will offer opportunities to collaborate and serve more customers with excellence and integrity. Conner Insurance will continue and strive to be a firm equipped with educated, qualified advisors. We are extremely thankful to be doing business in Indiana, giving us the ability to expand not only our career offerings and capabilities, but also give us the capacity to better serve our trusted partners in the community.”

“Indiana has lowered taxes, cut red tape and invested heavily in infrastructure so that it is easier for businesses to create jobs,” said Eric Doden, President of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “Conner Insurance has seized the opportunity this creates, leveraging its services to raise the bar here in the Hoosier State.”

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Conner Insurance, Inc. up to $425,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $175,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Indianapolis supports the project at the request of Develop Indy, a business unit of the Indy Chamber.
