Hey John, It was a busy November for Governor Eric Holcomb! To start the month, Gov. Holcomb joined state and Israeli officials and executives from Doral Renewables in Pulaski County to celebrate the launch of the second phase of the three-phase, 13,000 acre solar farm project, Mammoth Solar. This $1.5 billion investment supports Indiana’s latest ranking as No. 4 in the U.S. for the development of clean energy and will deliver $40 million to Pulaski County over the next 20 years while contributing $400 million in payroll to the local area workforce. “Clean energy projects like Mammoth Solar will be critical to our energy source portfolio and to powering leading industries like agbiosciences and the advanced manufacturing as we seek to grow and attract them both. We’ll do this as we simultaneously work to increase the quality of life and place in our neighborhoods and communities for years to come.” — Gov. Holcomb |
Governor Holcomb speaking at the Phase Two groundbreaking of Mammoth Solar. But that wasn’t the only exciting groundbreaking this month, as Gov. Holcomb joined state and local officials and business executives to break ground on a new microelectronics campus at WestGate@Crane Technology Park in Odon, Indiana. The $84 million development, which has already attracted four semiconductor companies to the state, will leverage academic, corporate and defense partners to speed the re-shoring of semiconductor research and manufacturing in the U.S. “Indiana’s has a rich tradition of advanced manufacturing that continues to push new technologies and innovations forward.” — Gov. Holcomb |
Governor Holcomb at the groundbreaking of WestGate@Crane. And late last month, Gov. Holcomb had the opportunity to speak to the Indiana chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, two organizations that are tireless in their efforts to support our Hoosier veterans. Eric is thankful to all who have served and to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. |
