Westfield, Indiana has quietly transformed from a community of fewer than 10,000 residents in the 1990s to the fastest-growing city in the state, now home to more than 50,000 people. The city ranks as the sixth-fastest-growing municipality in the country yet maintains a distinct identity. “Our motto in Westfield is we have small-town values, big city amenities,” Mayor Scott Willis explains. “Despite all that growth, I think most people will tell you that Westfield feels more like a small town in terms of the people and the culture and just the warmness that comes with that.”
