White County’s strength is its dynamic mix of agriculture, industry, renewable energy efforts, and small business enhanced by tourism. Located on the banks of the Tippecanoe River, White County is an easy stop off I-65, about halfway between Indianapolis, IN and Chicago, IL.

White County traditionally ranks among Indiana’s top counties in corn, soybean, swine, and popcorn production. It is home to one of our State’s largest tourist attractions, Indiana Beach and two of the state’s best boating and fishing lakes: Freeman and Shafer. White County is green-home to BioTown™, USA, the EnviroWatts Landfill Gas Generation Station at Liberty Landfill, and home to the Meadow Lake Wind Farms.

In 2008, the county became one of nine pilot communities in the state to participate in the Indiana HomeTown Competitiveness initiative, a community and economic development process focusing on four pillars: Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Wealth Retention, and Youth.
