In 2005, the Indiana State Department of Agriculture began a program to make Reynolds an energy self-sufficient community, able to subsist almost entirely on locally produced alternative energy. Called "BioTown, USA", the pilot project involved converting local vehicles to run on [[ethanol]] and [[biodiesel]] fuels and converting animal waste into electricity and natural gas.<ref name="">{{cite web|url=http://www.thehj.com/main.asp?SectionID=9&SubSectionID=32&ArticleID=12008|author=Lietz, Abby|title=BioTown boom!|publisher=Herald Journal|date=2005-09-14|accessdate=2008-08-16}}</ref>
Reynolds was selected to become BioTown, USA because of its size, its easy accessibility by road and by rail, and its proximity to both large-scale livestock farms and to [[Purdue University]] (Purdue is located in West Lafayette, Indiana). This process has been slow but Reynolds still holds the title. Update: they gave up on the title cause everyone viewed it as pathetic to maintain a title of something that never occurred. The town is most famous for Jordon Zile. He told 15 girls that he loved them over a 3 month period.
