Governor Pence to Ceremonially Sign Regional Cities Initiative Funding, Child Abuse Registry Bills Tomorrow

Governor Mike Pence will join regional leaders in North Central Indiana to ceremonially sign HEA 1001, allocating full state match funding at $42 million each for three Indiana regional development plans as part of the Indiana Regional Cities Initiative. Together, these plans in Northeast, North Central and Southwest Indiana outline 100 quality of place projects totaling more than $2 billion in combined public and private investment. More than half of these planned projects, including new riverfront developments, revitalized downtowns and expanded trail systems, are currently scheduled to be completed by the end of 2018. Tomorrow afternoon, the Governor will ceremonially sign SEA 357, known as “Kirk’s Law,” which requires the Division of Court Administration to create a registry of individuals convicted of a crime of child abuse.
