(WFIE) WARRICK CO., IN (WFIE) - Warrick County is growing, and the chamber can prove it. Several new developments in the works right now, are bringing people and new businesses to the area.  Take a drive down Highway 66 and you will see a lot of new development. Bigger one's like the Ortonesic hospitals, and medical office buildings to the smaller ones like restaurants and apartments.  Chamber officials say this is a welcome sight. Several new businesses are coming to the area and existing ones, like the Energy Systems Group , are expanding. Because of all the development, new subdivisions are being built as well. What about schools?

The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...
