The River Ridge Development Authority (RRDA) manages the River Ridge Commerce Center, a 6,000-acre business and office park established in 1998 to replace lost economic activity from the closure of the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant. To date, RRDA has invested more than $150 million in infrastructure improvements projects and plans to invest another $200 million over the next decade to continue redevelopment efforts. River Ridge is home to more than 70 companies, such as Amazon, Bose, Collins Aerospace, Enjoy Life Foods, Medline, Optum and HempRise. Onsite employment totaled more than 10,600 in 2022, and the Center produced a total of over $2.5 billion in economic output and supported more than 18,000 regional jobs. The investments and growth at River Ridge recently earned the RRDA the International Economic Development Council’s Gold Award for Real Estate Redevelopment and Reuse.
