JEFFERSONVILLE – The River Ridge Development Authority (RRDA) on Thursday announced it had achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 20 million square feet of developed building space in the River Ridge Commerce Center.
The achievement underscores River Ridge’s rapid evolution into one of the premier business and industrial parks in the Midwest—an economic engine supporting thousands of jobs and driving billions in regional investment. Over the past two decades, River Ridge has welcomed a diverse mix of global manufacturers, logistics leaders, and technology firms, all contributing to this latest milestone.
“This is more than a squarefootage benchmark—it’s a testament to the vision, collaboration, and strategic investment that have shaped River Ridge into a world-class business destination,” said Marc Hildenbrand, Executive Director of the River Ridge Development Authority, in a news release. “Surpassing 20 million square feet highlights both the strength of our market and the confidence that major employers place in the Commerce Center. We’re proud of this progress and excited for what comes next.”
River Ridge touted its investment in modern infrastructure, roadway expansion, utility enhancements, and workforce-ready development sites as tools to positioning the commerce center as a hub for companies seeking long-term growth.
“Every new facility represents jobs, investment, and opportunity for Southern Indiana residents,” Hildenbrand added. “Reaching 20 million square feet is a remarkable milestone.”
