This article gives Todd Young credit for “spearheading” the CHIPS Act. While he voted for it (to his credit), the bill was advanced by President Biden and Democrats in Congress and was passed with only 14 of 50 Republican Senators voting for it. Once again, IBJ gives credit to Indiana Republicans for tapping into federal programs without mentioning that many of those programs exist only because Democrats got them passed over staunch Republican opposition.

Agreed, I lean with the Republicans and usually thoroughly disagree with the
Dems. But bringing the semiconductor manufacturing to the U.S.
is a very wise & prudent move.
Where I disagree is with the government stepping in to set 10 high tech
research development zones. A city like Indianapolis is trying very hard to
establish itself as a tech hub or Center. If the givers chooses the ten locations
Indianapolis probably will be left out.
It should be the private sector that chooses.
Second, why isn’t Indianapolis attracting any of these semi conductor and other
high tech plants. Indianapolis is not attracting anything.
This current semi conductor plant is going to southwest Indiana. It’s not
near any cities of size to draw a work force from.
**What’s the one thing we hear all the time. Tech companies want to go to cities
with high quality of life standards and a growing population. I’m thinking Indy
would meet that criteria over Odon very easily.
Why isn’t Indy drawing any corporations to our downtown or to our city period.
Is it because we don’t market ourselves as aggressively as other cities???
KeithB Good question about Indy. I’ve lived here most of the past 40 years and I think the city has lost its mojo. I’m not saying it necessarily is going downhill but city leaders seem to have lost the vision of people like Bill Hudnut and David Frick, etc. I’m a Democrat but I think the Republicans of the Hudnut-Lugar era were very good for Indy. But those kind of Republicans (and Democrats) seem to be in short supply and the General Assembly seems more interested in punishing Indy than helping it. As for the Crane site, I also agree about the issue of finding qualified workers at such a remote site. I just think the state is flailing around trying to play catch-up with an out-of-date playbook and a General Assembly more interested in social issues than truly addressing the quality of life shortcomings that are hindering investment in our state. And as long as Republicans have a supermajority there will be no incentive to listen to countervailing voices. And no matter one’s political persuasion, that is not a good thing.
Glen K.
Agreed with everything you said. Everything!
I have lived in Indy for almost 40 years also. When I moved here Indianapolis
was really on the move. Absolutely moving forward.
As you pointed out, the era of Hudnut, Frick. Welch, and other city leaders was special. These men put aside differences and worked together to further a vision for a better Indianapolis. I think that fateful plane crash killing these city
visionaries and Hudnut’s retirement was a major set back for Indianapolis development. A set back that has NEVER been replaced.
We need a new group of city leaders to step up as the previous generation of leaders did and work together and put forth a vision for Indianapolis.
As you said Indianapolis has lost its mojo. The sad part is that corporate city
leaders are not stepping up to fill that void. We are relying to much on government bureaucracies to fill that void, which will not work.
