Indianapolis Falls on Forbes List; Still Makes Top 30
The Indy Partnership Interim Chief Executive Officer Gordon Hendry says the ranking for Indianapolis is still positive. Forbes magazine is out with its 2007 list of the "Best Places for Business and Careers" and eleven Indiana cities made the cut. Indianapolis, which fell 17 spots on this year's list, comes in at 27th for the Best Metros category. Despite the drop, the Circle City continues to beat out other major metropolitan cities in the Midwest, including Chicago which came in at 125th on the list. Bloomington is listed in the top ten of the Best Smaller Metros category coming in at 6th nationwide.
Forbes used criteria, including crime, education of workforce, economic growth and quality-of-life, to compile the list.
Forbes on Thursday incorrectly issued a press release stating that Indianapolis ranked 10th on the list. That was the city's ranking on the 2006 list.
Indiana Cities on Forbes' Best Metros Category List:
Indianapolis - 27
Fort Wayne - 94
South Bend - 114
Evansville - 116
Indiana Cities on Forbes' Best Smaller Metros Category List:
Bloomington - 6
Lafayette - 24
Columbus - 45
Terre Haute - 56
Elkhart - 83
Anderson - 98
Michigan City - 99
