Evansville is the regional center for a large trade area in Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois. The broad economic base of the region has helped to build an economy which is known for its stability, diversity, and vitality. Major industries today include manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, retailing, health care, and finance and business services. In 2007 the metropolitan area was ranked 88th in the nation in terms of growth and economic impact.
Corporate headquarters include Accuride, Atlas Van Lines, Berry Plastics, Mead Johnson, Old National Bank, Shoe Carnival, and Vectren. The city is also home to American General Finance, a division of AIG. Major manufacturing operations around the city include AK Steel in Rockport, Alcoa in Newburgh, SABIC in Mount Vernon, and Toyota in Princeton.
The city's economy was expanded by Casino Aztar's entertainment facility in 1995. The main complex consists of a 2,700 passenger riverboat casino, a 250-room hotel, a 1,660 vehicle parking garage, and pavilion housing pre-boarding facilities, retail shops, restaurants, and lounge area. An adjacent entertainment district features a 96-room boutique hotel and additional restaurants.
The economic downturn beginning in 2008 hurt Evansville with contractions by some of the area's largest employers. Toyota laid off all temporary workers and offered a buyout to its permanent employees. The company temporarily shut down its production lines as production of the Tundra pickup truck was transferred to Texas and the Highlander production was moved to Princeton. On August 28, 2009 Whirlpool Corporation announced they are moving operations from Evansville to Mexico, laying off 1,100 hourly employees. The city was able to retain 300 salaried positions for a production design center.
The City of Evansville offers a pro-business tax structure for companies locating inside the Evansville Urban Enterprise Zone. Established in 1984 as one of only five enterprise zones in the State of Indiana, the 2.1-square-mile (5.4 km2) Evansville Urban Enterprise Zone offers inventory tax credits and other tax credits to eligible businesses.
