In a pre-recorded State of the State address Tuesday night, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced plans for a regional investment program that would be similar to a popular initiative the Legislature chose two years ago not to keep funding.
But Holcomb, a Republican who is kicking off his second term, did not attach a dollar amount to the program or include funding for it in the two-year budget he recently sent lawmakers.
“We are just at the beginning of developing this initiative and we’ll work with members of the General Assembly and our mayors and our county elected officials, economic development officials, and other stakeholders, so we’re ready to rock and roll when we have the green light,” Holcomb said.

My fellow Hoosiers.
It’s an honor to once again discuss with you this evening the state of our state and the work before us to make life better for all Hoosiers.
This annual update will be unlike any other.
For tonight, I stand before you in a studio with nothing in between me and you.
We’re not surrounded by all the grandeur inside the State House of Representatives Chamber or before a packed house of legislative leaders and guests who have all contributed so much to the well-being of our great state.
