Crony Republicans are going to crony.
This is such a waste of tax payer money. I don’t know how much more obvious they could be about throwing Hoosiers under the bus to out of state (and country) companies and workforces.
This is a great idea that the IEDC should have did no less than 20 years ago.
Indianapolis and the state have selling points that should be utilized.
Will these representatives for the state be just scouting out opportunities or
will they also be given the opportunity to actually contact corporate leaders.
Direct face to face interaction is extremely important.
Indiana needs to be far more aggressive in attracting economic development.
We need representatives to interact in person with corporate leaders.
*** There is no substitute for face to face interactions for developing personal
relationships. It builds trust and familiarity. ****
So what were the results of the Chicago outreach?
I agree with Keith B. Indiana has to be just as aggressive with economic development of any kind as we are with sports and conventions. The west coast is already established and looking for other locations. So it’s going to very competitive for Indiana. The southeast is fast becoming a go to for California companies, Texas in particular. Nashville and Raleigh are out pacing Indy as well as Columbus and Austin Texas. The low cost of living alone isn’t enough to lure people to want to move here, so Indiana has to get creative and not so conservative. People like a good quality of life, less government and lots of entertainment and things to do when they’re not working. Indiana needs to become more diverse and appealing to singles. The state always brag about a great place to raise a family but leave out the professional singles. The state has to catch up with the times and what’s trending, like legalizing marijuana.
