Our region was settled because of the Falls of the Ohio and that fact launched our area into its present day life as a major transportation center. The Clark Maritime Center offers outstanding services for economically shipping and receiving goods from around the world. The United Parcel Service (UPS) hub at the Louisville International Airport provides next day delivery to any place in the world. Our three converging interstate highways and rail services round out our transportation systems.

Clark and Floyd Counties serve as a regional employer - drawing employees from fourteen surrounding Indiana counties as well as several Kentucky counties.
