Bargersville Economic Development — Cultivating Long-Term Success
Right Place. Right Partner.
Bargersville was shaped by people who understood that real growth takes patience, care, and the right conditions. Today, Bargersville grows in opportunity and quality of life. Because here, progress is cultivated through community, support, and shared purpose.
A Community Built for Business and Built to Last
Nestled in the heart of Johnson County, Bargersville provides a sense of community, hospitality, and possibility moving side by side. With roots dating back to 1850, this once-agricultural town has grown into a vibrant community that blends heritage with opportunity.
Today, Bargersville is one of the fastest-growing communities in the state, expanding by nearly 10,000 residents in the last 15 years. With a new interchange at Interstate 69, Bargersville will develop even more. As I-69 continues to grow, so does Bargersville: commercially, residentially, and economically. We are conveniently located between Indianapolis and Bloomington, are served by two of the top school districts in the state, and have land to spare—providing growth opportunities for families and businesses alike.
Bargersville offers all of this, while preserving the character, relationships, and quality of life that make the community feel like home. Because in Bargersville, companies don't have to sacrifice quality for opportunity. The expectation to do things well is already embedded.
