Fri, May 16 2008 Because Logansport, Indiana, is located 20 miles
northwest of Kokomo, Indiana, 70 miles north of Indianapolis, and 130 miles
south of Chicago, Logansport is at the heart of the Crossroads of America. Many
entrepreneurs, families and firms have made their mark in Cass County. In the
process they have built a rich, enterprising tradition that affirms the proud
spirit of local residents, the resilience of the community, and the pride of the
family-owned business. In addition, Cass County boasts an outstanding quality of
life and a low cost-of-living. The local economy is diversified, with a balance
among industrial, agricultural, and retail sectors. As the 20th Century gave way
to the 21st, Cass County remained linked to the transportation sector as
thousands of local manufacturing jobs are tied to automotive production. The
agricultural sector has also remained vibrant, and it has facilitated
significant local investments in agribusiness, meatpacking, refrigeration,
fertilizer production, seed/feed mills, by-products, etc. All benefit from
proximity to the producers and easy access to markets. Logansport, the retail
and commercial hub for Cass County and the region, has enjoyed a particularly
rich tradition with the transportation sector.
