Aspire recently hosted our first Teacher Field Trip which was focused on the IT field. This was the first of three field trips Aspire will be offering area teachers this summer. High school and middle school teachers from Johnson County and southern Indianapolis have the opportunity to take VIP tours though our area businesses to learn more about the careers available to their students, right here in Johnson County. Spots are still available for the Manufacturing and Healthcare/Life Sciences tours.

Building B in the Indy South Logistics Park is currently under construction. Located just south of County Line Road on Graham Road, it has easy access to I-65 and is well suited for both distribution and light manufacturing. This location is perfect for a growing company interested in locating to or expanding within Johnson County. Aspire’s sites and building database was built in partnership with T&W Design & Build. We are grateful for their support in offering this tool.

We were inspired by the sentiments around building relationship density to foster new business start-ups, and expanding the focus of entrepreneurism from just tech to other industries making an impact. We also discussed improving quality of place, staying ahead of national security, and keeping the pedal to the floor on innovation, all of which is necessary to compete in the global market, and beat China. Importantly, the summit affirmed the principles and goals within Aspire’s economic strategic plan.

You may have complimentary tickets to select events available with your membership. Contact Angie Keene for more information.
