About Us

Kokomo and Howard County have been called a lot of things: a 'top city for Indiana families', a 'best city for U.S. job seekers', a nationally-ranked community for advanced manufacturing, exports, and affordability, and even an 'Indiana community of the year'. However, we're proud to call it something even better: home.

As the primary economic development organization for Kokomo and Howard County, the Greater Kokomo Economic Development Alliance strives to create a thriving economic climate for our community's citizens and businesses. We accomplish this, in collaboration with city and county government, through our operating divisions: the Greater Kokomo Chamber of Commerce, Greater Kokomo Visitors Bureau, Greater Kokomo Downtown Association, and Inventrek Technology Park.

Whether you're an employer looking to start or expand a business, a resident who wants to get more involved in the community, or a relocating family hoping to find a forever home, rest assured that you'll find the resources and tools you need here to choose Kokomo and Howard County.
