Alex turns local data
into action.
A working intelligence layer for site selection, workforce strategy, commercial real estate, childcare action, economic impact, and city decision support — built on 11,000+ curated data files and five years of institutional research.
How teams use Alex
A unified intelligence platform for Hamilton County's economy.
Alex synthesizes federal, state, county, and proprietary data into a coherent picture of where Hamilton County stands — and where it's heading. Built for use by city economic development teams, chambers, employers, providers, nonprofits, and policymakers, every Alex surface is grounded in the same shared methodology, the same refreshed data substrate, and the same brand of evidence-first decision support.
The platform sits on five years of institutional research and a federal-data refresh pipeline that runs monthly. Every number is auditable. Every methodology is documented. Every recommendation is defensible.
Eight tools. One platform. One login.
Each tool is purpose-built for a specific audience and use case. All share the same brand, the same data substrate, and the same governance model.

Built by Invest Hamilton County.
Alex is named for Alexander Hamilton, the county's namesake. The platform is developed and operated by Invest Hamilton County (IHC), the county's economic development organization, led by President & CEO Mike Thibideau.
Alex is governed under formal canon — every methodology is documented, every data source is cited, every change is auditable. The platform serves Hamilton County cities under formal $5K/year Business Retention & Expansion add-ons, with sub-licensing pathways through the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC) × AUBER channel for peer counties nationally.
