Trades District

Located in Bloomington’s downtown certified tech park, the Trades District is a 12-acre development ideally located for innovation-fueled companies. The Trades District sits at the heart of an 84-mile I69 “Deep-Tech Corridor” providing easy access to Indianapolis International Airport, Indiana’s Capital city, and a short drive to NSWC Crane. Together with the major new CHIPS-related investments at NSWC Crane, Bloomington, and Indiana University, the Trades District is poised to become a significant economic driver for Bloomington and the surrounding region. Companies located in the Trades District will be well-positioned to tap into the talent pipeline at Indiana University and Ivy Tech Bloomington.
