Quality of Life

As welcoming as Daviess County is to visitors, the county offers an equally hospitable life for residents through good jobs and rewarding careers, excellent schools, inviting neighborhoods, and a robust and diversified economy.

Visitors often admire our abundant crops, and growing synergistically with those crops are agribusinesses which keep agricultural demand high. Also in Daviess County, Crane NSA, the third-largest naval installation in the world, and WestGate@Crane Technology Park help make us a preferred location for defense technology and advanced manufacturing. And our transportation system, including the I-69 corridor which assures ease of access for visitors, also helps make the county a transportation and distribution hub.

Supporting the quality of our industries and the quality of our life are excellent, award-winning schools engaged in project-based learning and advanced problem solving. Daviess County high school graduation rates average 95%, exceeding both the state and the U.S. averages.

Our community spirit is equally high. Volunteerism is a way of life here, whether the project is renovation of the Corning Irish Heritage Center or maintaining the beautiful West Boggs Park. Self-sufficient since 1996, the park requires no tax dollars for support thanks to volunteers and community partnerships. The Daviess County Historical Museum is also supported by generous business and community contributions.

All the assets that visitors enjoy during their stay here—from arts and culture to recreation—are here for residents to enjoy, and support, all year round. Daviess County is an inviting place to visit, and a rewarding place to live.
