Healthcare Healthcare in rural communities is in crisis. Access to medical services by general practitioners, trained specialists, mental health experts, and substance abuse professionals is severely limited. We need to support initiatives to bring services to our citizens, especially those living in rural, unincorporated areas with minimal coverage. Environment / Energy Indiana electricity producers have polluted our state and many states downwind with outdated and inefficient fossil fuel sources. We need to develop policies that encourage clean, renewable energy with local citizen support. Infrastructure / Transportation High speed internet is critical to the people for our county. School children, remote workers, and modern farming businesses require dependable, affordable network access. We need to support projects to bring our communications infrastructure up to date. We are missing opportunities for education and economic excellence. Housing People value all the benefits of moving to Hendricks County. Unfortunately, affordable housing is a huge barrier when they try to find a place to live. This has a big impact on local businesses that are trying to find employees. We need to have common-sense zoning and development policies so our county can grow and prosper.
