“By strengthening our economy, reskilling our workforce, and building up and out infrastructure network, we are simultaneously enhancing our quality of place and life.” –– Governor Eric Holcomb John,
The numbers are in, and we’re proud to announce that 2021 was ANOTHER record-breaking year for economic development here in Indiana.
Under Governor Holcomb’s innovative leadership, our state’s economic trajectory is pointing upwards and breaking records for the fifth consecutive year.
From the Indiana Economic Development Corporation:
“Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Secretary of Commerce Bradley B. Chambers today announced the end of a fifth consecutive record-breaking year for economic development in Indiana.
Nearly 300 companies committed to locate and expand in Indiana, investing more than $8.7 billion in their operations, a 56% increase from 2020, with an increasing average wage of $28.49 per hour.
This marks the highest capital investment and annual record for average wages since the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) was established in 2005.” John, this would not have been possible without the strong support of Hoosiers like you. Governor Holcomb is so proud of what we’ve accomplished together here in the great state of Indiana.
But as always, Governor Holcomb believes our work isn’t finished. He is raising the bar and keeping his foot on the pedal to keep moving our state forward this year.
The Governor can’t wait to see the heights we reach together in 2022.
Sincerely,
