Welcome!

A warm welcome from the City of Lafayette, known as The Place of Choice for singles, families and retirees. Our community values long-time residents, welcome newcomers and enjoy visitors.

A high-energy community, the Greater Lafayette area is a thriving business-and-industry hub focused on progress, investment and job creation. We offer great sports and recreation, fine cultural activities, year round festivals and affordable housing. And we're known for our blue-ribbon schools, regional healthcare services and historic downtown loaded with shopping, dining and night life.

My administration and I are committed to serve you and everyone at the highest level possible. First and foremost is our focus on public safety. We also strive for strong neighborhoods, a healthy and sustainable environment, and abundant parks and recreation for all families. Greater Lafayette offers a walkable environment with many transportation choices, a diverse population and cultures and a can-do spirit.

With a wide-ranging and strong economy, many career and business opportunities abound. Greater Lafayette is home to advanced manufacturers Caterpillar, Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc., Wabash National and other top industries, as well as thriving life science companies, from Evonik Degussa Corp. to startups licensing Purdue technologies. Small business, arts and culture and entrepreneurs all contribute to making the area economy strong. Lafayette's city departments, civic leaders and organizations such as Greater Lafayette Commerce stand ready to help our citizens succeed on the job or in business.

Greater Lafayette is a well-educated community. We're home to Purdue University, Ivy Tech Community College, three outstanding public school corporations and several private educational systems.

You will see in our community a growing, involved population; dynamic public and private sectors with many opportunities; and a quality of life second to none. We also invite you to experience our community's hopes and aspirations and share your own as well. New developments in the city and along the Wabash River all point to a bright future for Lafayette, The Place of Choice.
