Governor Mike Braun has unveiled a one-billion-dollar agriculture and life sciences initiative.
He says his plan will create 100-thousand high-paying jobs over the next ten years.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation will commit one-billion-dollars in tax credits for the effort.
The initiative targets agriculture, animal health, biotech and environmental innovation.
State leaders say those sectors already connect deeply to rural Indiana.
Supporters say the plan builds on Indiana’s strengths in farming and research, but critics will be watching closely to see whether rural areas truly see the promised jobs and investments.
