WARSAW, Ind. (March 12, 2024) – Warsaw was named a “Top 100 Micropolitan” community in 2023 by Site Selection Magazine.
This marks the 10th consecutive year on the list for Warsaw. Of the 100 ranking micropolitan (micro) areas, Warsaw came in at number 17, up from number 44 the previous year, and tying respectively with 11 other cities including neighboring Huntington.
Rankings are based on the impact made by local business investment and expansion projects. Qualified projects must meet at least one of three criteria: involve a capital investment of at least $1 million, at least 20,000 SF in new or expanding construction, or the addition of 20 new jobs. Retail, government, school, and hospital projects are not factored into the analyses.
With more than 500 micropolitan areas in the United States, Site Selection’s list of “Top 100 Micros” puts Warsaw in the top 20% in the country.
“We are proud to be a part of such a vibrant and growing community,” said Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation (KEDCO) Chairman of the Board of Directors Blaine Conley. “We’re grateful for the continued investments by local industry in Warsaw and throughout Kosciusko County.
Indiana came in third overall for “2023 Top States” based on the number of “Top 100 Micros,” with 13 Hoosier cities making the list, just trailing Ohio and Georgia who tallied 15.
