The Indiana Career Connections and Talent secretary will step down from her role on June 7. It comes just months after her department was absorbed several months ago by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.
Blair Milo is the state’s first – and so far, only – Career Connections and Talent secretary. Gov. Eric Holcomb appointed her to the newly created role in 2017, for which she resigned in the middle of her second term as mayor of LaPorte.
Funds can be spent for needs in tourism, community, connectivity and workforce.

“So much of what people look for is, they want to live in an area that’s exciting, has a great system when it comes to resources or activities or things to do. It’s really preparing that for our region,” Keller said.
