Industry is staking a claim in rural farm town outside of Indianapolis
Sweeping fields of corn and soybeans spread as far as the eye can see in Mount Comfort. Here, the comfort lies in slower living outside of Indianapolis. Yet things are picking up speed in this unincorporated territory in the state's fastest-growing county. In recent years, companies like Amazon and Walmart have opened big warehouses near the Indianapolis Regional Airport in Mount Comfort, and new jobs, residents, and homes have followed suit. "The jobs are growing at an exponential rate, so the people taking these new jobs want to live within a comfortable driving distance," says Kerry O'Brien, pastor at Mohawk United Methodist Church. Locals typically drive outside town for shops, parks and restaurants, although they enjoy having an elementary school and fun events nearby.
Industrial warehouses are scattered around Mount Comfort where many residents are employed.
