Boone Beat tracks growth, development, and property in Boone County, Indiana.
The county is in the middle of the biggest economic expansion in its history — the LEAP district, Eli Lilly’s manufacturing investment, data centers, and the housing pressure all of it creates. Most coverage of that is either a press release or a headline. We try to explain what it actually means for the people who live here and the people moving in.
What we cover
- Development — what’s approved, what’s being built, and where.
- Towns — honest guides to Lebanon, Zionsville, Whitestown, Thorntown and the smaller western communities.
- Market — housing supply, permits, and land value trends from public records.
- Buying & selling — practical guidance for people moving here or deciding what to do with property they own.
How we work
Our information comes from public records, county and municipal filings, and company announcements, combined with our own analysis. We write our own material rather than republishing other outlets’ reporting.
Development timelines change constantly. We date what we publish and try to be clear about what’s confirmed versus what’s expected.
