Discover Batesville was created to stimulate the economic growth of our community. It provides us with the opportunity to tell “our story” to individuals and businesses outside the community. Batesville is a modern, vibrant community full of opportunity and we need to get the word out. The campaign has been designed to promote all of the wonderful assets Batesville has to offer in a way that encourages business investment and job creation.
