Regional Stronghold

In 2021, Site Selection Magazine named Auburn one of the region's top micropolitan areas based on its economic strength, location, and propensity for development. Companies located in Auburn and DeKalb County chose the area for its talented workforce, manufacturing ecosystem, and business-friendly environment.

When businesses seek to establish roots or expand operations in DeKalb County, we support them through the DeKalb County Economic Development Partnership, the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, and a strong network of Northeast Indiana colleges and universities. Read how this regional collaboration benefited Continental as the tech company consolidated three technical centers into one location in Auburn.
