PRINCETON, IN – Indiana Gov. Mike Braun today highlighted the surge in Indiana’s life sciences sector, with three major industry expansions that will create more than 1,300 new high‑wage Hoosier jobs. These expansions further cement Indiana’s position as a national leader in advanced manufacturing, medical device production, and biopharmaceutical innovation.

Under Gov. Braun’s direction, Indiana’s economic development strategy has focused on two priorities: more jobs for Hoosiers and higher wages. The latest life sciences investments demonstrate the strength of that strategy, and Indiana’s growing dominance in one of the world’s most competitive industries.

The Evansville Board of Public Works today approved an agreement with the Evansville Metropolitan Planning Organization to participate in a Regional Transit Feasibility Study, examining improved regional transit service, including the potential creation of a Regional Transit Authority serving Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Warrick County, and Henderson, Kentucky.

The study will evaluate whether a regional approach could improve service and efficiency by better aligning public transportation with how residents actually travel across municipal boundaries. The total cost of the study is $199,994, with 80 percent funded by federal transportation sources and the remaining 20 percent shared among participating local governments.

Evansville’s portion, which was approved in today’s vote, is for $21,831.

“Reliable transportation is about access to jobs, education, healthcare, and opportunity,” said Mayor Stephanie Terry. “This study allows us to explore whether a regional approach could better serve residents while making more efficient use of public dollars.”

To date, Evansville, Vanderburgh County, and Warrick County have approved funding for the project.
