Bloomington.
Indiana calls itself the crossroads of America, and Bloomington is the heart of that intersection. We’re home to Big Ten sports, beautiful lakes, hiking and outdoor activities, craft breweries, a tech hub for innovation, an active art scene, and endless possibilities for your family. We’re welcoming to all — a notoriously blue dot in a notoriously red state. But the thing that sets Bloomington apart the most is our people. Visit and you’ll find it’s home to basketball fanatics and granola connoisseurs, techies and farmers, students, and townies. And we could be home for you!
Our City
There’s no way we can fit all the cool places in Bloomington on this page. And half the fun of living here is exploring Btown’s nooks and crannies! From great music to a culinary scene that’s a foodie’s dream, Bloomington has everything you can want and more. Check out Visit Bloomington to explore.
Our Program
Bloomington Remote is a program by The Mill with the support of the City of Bloomington. We’ve met a lot of awesome remote workers here, and we like the talent and energy they bring to our community. It's a great place to live and remote work, and we want more remote workers to know about it!
Our Space
The Mill is located in an iconic century-old building in the heart of Bloomington’s Trades District, just off the scenic B-Line Trail. Its award-winning renovation combines state-of-the-art convenience like 1GB WiFi with the character of reclaimed wood, exposed brick, and soaring ceilings.

FAQs
Sorry, only people who currently live outside of Indiana are eligible.
Welcome to Bloomington! You’re too late to apply for full program benefits, but we’d love to meet you at our monthly Remote Worker Meetups!
Yes, if you are a permanent resident with a green card. (We’re not able to help with that process.)
Probably not. For the purposes of this program, for example, we don’t consider Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Grubhub, etc., full-time remote employment.
You might know it as “working from home” or “telecommuting.” Bloomington Remote is for folks who have full-time employment with a company but don’t have to go into an office each day.
No, sorry. You need to already have a remote job to be eligible for our program.
