Economic and Redevelopment

Located on the Ohio River, in Jefferson County, Indiana as the largest city and county seat, Madison was the earliest incorporated city in the state in 1809. Madison's National Historic Landmark status, with over 133 blocks on the national historical register, offers its community an authentic place to locate and call home. Our community amenities and natural beauty, unique from other cities, collectively provide unmatched quality of life for our residents and visitors. 

Because of our location and stimulate business environment, Madison has access to the world through the Ohio River, our city-owned and operated Madison Railroad, and the Madison Regional Airport, in addition to our nearby access to the interstate system.
