Provincial Programs Available in Bloomington
These state-level and provincial grant programs are active and open to qualified businesses operating in the Bloomington area:
Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE)
Agency: IEDC
EDGE is the flagship incentive. It provides a refundable tax credit calculated as a percentage (often 50-100%) of the expected state income tax withholdings generated by new jobs. Because it is refundable, it works like cash for companies with low tax liability.
Manufacturing Readiness Grants
Agency: IEDC / Conexus Indiana
This modernized grant helps manufacturers modernize. It provides cash to buy high-tech equipment like cobots, 3D printers, or sensor networks. It solves the "capital gap" for small-to-mid-sized factories trying to adopt Industry 4.0.
Hoosier Business Investment (HBI) Tax Credit
Agency: IEDC
The HBI credit incentivizes capital investment. It offers a tax credit of up to 10% of the qualified investment cost. While often overshadowed by EDGE, it is a critical tool for capital-heavy projects like logistics centers or factories.
