Location, Location, Location.  Seymour’s geographic location in the Midwest is one of its leading strengths.  Within a short one-hour drive of Indianapolis (IN) and Louisville (KY) and only one and one-half hour from Cincinnati (OH), Seymour is located in the middle of a golden triangle of three of the major cities in the U.S.  A larger circle of Chicago (IL), St. Louis (MO), Memphis and Nashville (TN), Dayton (OH), and Detroit (MI) are all within a just-in-time delivery drive.  Transportation via Interstate 65, U.S. 50 and U.S. 31, a north-south and east-west rail line and a major municipal airport make connection with the majority of the U.S. population an easy task. 

Seymour is served by dependable, low-cost utilities.  A deep ethnic strong work ethic provides a dependable work force.  High-speed connectivity is available in wireless, fiber optic and cable.  State law and a friendly local government make tax abatement possible.  Available land for industrial, commercial and residential development is priced reasonably.  Two industrial parks provide available acreage.   A business friendly environment is nurtured and supported by local government leadership.

Industrial development is handled by Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation (JCIDC).  With over twenty years of sustained success in industrial growth, JCIDC is staffed with professionals who are current in all aspects of business support for location or expansion. 

Retail and professional growth is a joint effort between the Chamber of Commerce, Seymour Main Street, city government and Schneck Memorial Hospital.
