Conner Insurance to invest $1M, add up to 23 workers

By Conner Insurance Inc. said Tuesday morning that it plans to expand its Indianapolis headquarters, creating up to 23 jobs by 2019. The insurance brokerage firm said it will invest $1.07 million to lease and equip 10,000 square feet of office space at 8445 Keystone Crossing.

The 65-year-old company provides insurance and and employee-benefit services, as well as consulting on human resources compliance, wellness programs and pension plans.
