Indiana Direct Financial Incentives

Indiana's economic development, finance and tax organizations provide a range of incentive programs to initiate new business and commercial investment.

Corporate Taxes & Incentives Guide
Economic development bonds:
Cities and counties provide tax-exempt financing for businesses through economic development commissions. Interest rates and terms are negotiated at the local level. Bonds are issued through loan, lease or sale agreements. The bonds can finance facilities for manufacturing and certain other projects.

Infrastructure financing:
The state-funded Industrial Development Grant fund supplements the funding of local units of government to pay for offsite infrastructure projects in support of new business development. The grant award is based on new job created and is not to exceed 50 percent of any project.

Customized training:
Businesses can apply for reimbursement grants to subsidize the cost of training and retraining employees through the state's Skills Enhancement Fund grants program. This program covers up to half of eligible training costs, which include instructor wages, tuition, training materials, and travel costs associated with attending.
