Economic DevelopmentKDDK has worked closely with business leaders, developers, planning and government officials and legislators to lay the groundwork for projects that have contributed to the growth and economy in Evansville, Southwestern Indiana and the Tri-State area for many years.

Our business, real estate and construction attorneys have extensive experience in:

  • Industry relocation
  • Land acquisition - options, land lease, land contracts, purchase
  • Economic incentives - tax, training, other
  • Property tax phase-ins (formerly known as tax abatement)
  • Local government approvals and permits
  • Variances, rezonings and special use permits
  • Planned unit developments and condominiums
  • Brownfield redevelopment
  • Comprehensive development planning
  • Landmark / historical preservation designation

Facility Relocation and Expansion

KDDK attorneys assemble tracts of land ranging from 100 to 1,000-plus acres for large companies. The team has been a part of significant facility relocations and industrial developments such as the Vanderburgh Industrial Park, AK Steel Corporation and Toyota.

The goal is to give the competitive advantage to companies considering expansion or a move to this region. This is done in part by exploring every tax deferral option including grants, income tax allowances, benefits and property tax savings. Acting as leaders in most of the region’s business and governmental organizations, KDDK attorneys stay keenly in front of the region’s economic development issues.

Municipal Law

The firm’s attorneys advise and represent clients in municipal government matters such as eminent domain, property leasing, retail development, commercial office buildings, taxation, sales and acquisitions, construction contracting and environmental law.

A number of KDDK attorneys currently serve as officers for the Evansville Industrial Foundation and the Chamber of Commerce of Southwestern Indiana -- or have worked with their members. At any given time it is likely that more than one KDDK attorney is engaged in representing some city or county entity in this region.
