🎉 Exciting Progress in Santa Claus, Indiana!

The groundbreaking of Frost Falls, a major new housing development in Santa Claus, IN—and this exciting project is already gaining statewide attention as it has been featured in the Indiana Business Journal!

Frost Falls represents an important investment in our community, bringing much-needed housing options and supporting the continued growth of Spencer County. Projects like this strengthen our workforce, attract new families, and build momentum for our future.

We are grateful for the collaboration between local leaders, developers, and community partners who made this day possible. The visibility from the Indiana Business Journal highlights just how important this project is—not only locally, but across Indiana.

Spencer County is growing, and this is another proud step forward! 🏗️🏘️

Huge news for Spencer County!
The County, in partnership with INDOT and engineering firm SJCA, worked diligently to secure a federal grant for improvements along Old 231 — and that effort is paying off.

This federal grant will help modernize a critical corridor that our residents, farmers, first responders, and local businesses rely on every single day. Strong infrastructure strengthens our entire county, and this investment moves us one step closer to safer roads, better connectivity, and long-term economic growth.

Proud of what this partnership means for Spencer County’s future.
