Their breadth of experience along with their commitment and service to the state of Indiana will be invaluable to our continued economic development efforts and to the Hoosiers we serve statewide.”
The appointments will take effect Tuesday after the board votes on state matching funds through the Indiana Regional Cities Initiative. Their terms will expire in March 2017.
