1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.004
>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO INSIDE
INDIANA BUSINESS. I'M GERRY
DICK.
THE NUMBERS CONTINUE TO BE

2
00:00:05.004 --> 00:00:14.647
STAGGERING...THE NUMBER OF
POSITIVE COVID-19 CASES IN
INDIANA HAS SOARED BEYOND THE
12,000 MARK, WITH MORE THAN 600

3
00:00:14.647 --> 00:00:19.753
PLUS DEATHS.
BUT AMID SIGNS THAT INDIANA JUST
MIGHT BE FLATTENING THE
CORONAVIRUS CURVE, EFFORTS ARE

4
00:00:19.753 --> 00:00:23.022
UNDERWAY TO RE-OPEN THE INDIANA
ECONOMY.
WHAT WILL THAT RE-OPENING LOOK
LIKE? AND HOW SOON COULD IT

5
00:00:23.022 --> 00:00:28.828
HAPPEN?
FOR SOME ANSWERS, I'M PLEASED TO
WELCOME INDIANA SECRETARY OF
COMMERCE JIM SCHELLINGER TO THE

6
00:00:28.828 --> 00:00:36.970
SHOW.
JIM, WELCOME AS ALWAYS.
>> ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
>> JIM IS COMING TO US FROM THE

7
00:00:36.970 --> 00:00:43.777
SOCIAL MEDIA LOUNGE. FIRST OF
ALL, THAT'S THE QUESTION ON
EVERYONE'S MIND, EVERYONE IS
ANXIOUS TO GET THE ECONOMY BACK

8
00:00:43.777 --> 00:00:51.551
GOING AGAIN. ANY IDEA WHEN THIS
COULD HAPPEN?
>> THE GOVERNOR MADE IT CLEAR HE
WILL FOCUS ON PROTECTING

9
00:00:51.551 --> 00:00:57.323
HOOSIERS FIRST AND FOREMOST.
GOVERNOR HOLCOMB HAS A MORAL
COMPASS IN HIS HEAD THAT IS
SECOND TO NONE. THAT'S HIS FIRST

10
00:00:57.323 --> 00:01:04.063
PRIORITY. HOW DO WE OPEN SAFE?
HOW DO WE OPEN IN THE RIGHT
STAGES?
AND THIRD, HOW DO WE OPEN TO THE

11
00:01:04.063 --> 00:01:10.270
NEW NORM, BECAUSE WE WILL NOT DO
BUSINESS THE WAY WE USED TO DO
BUSINESS FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE. IT WILL BE DONE IN

12
00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:18.611
STAGES, HE ANNOUNCED SOME LAST
FRIDAY. HE ANNOUNCED SOME TODAY
OR MONDAY. IT'S GOING TO BE DONE
IN PHASES, AND DEPENDENT UPON,

13
00:01:18.611 --> 00:01:26.486
ONE, SAFETY, AND TWO, FRANKLY,
PPE SUPPLIES WE HAVE. MOST
COMPANIES ARE -- PPE SUPPLIES,
RIGHT NOW WE'RE BARELY ABLE TO

14
00:01:26.486 --> 00:01:35.662
GET ALL THE STUFF FOR HOSPITALS
AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS. A
COMBINATION OF A LOT OF THINGS.
HE'S VERY -- DOING IT

15
00:01:35.662 --> 00:01:42.168
REGIONALLY, GOVERNORS OF
ILLINOIS, KENTUCKY, OHIO,
MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, AND
MINNESOTA, THEY'RE ALL GROUPING

16
00:01:42.168 --> 00:01:50.043
TOGETHER TO UNDERSTAND AND DO
THINGS AS A REGION, WHICH I
THINK IS REMARKABLE IN HOW
THEY'RE COORDINATING. WHILE I

17
00:01:50.043 --> 00:01:57.450
DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER WHEN WE'LL
BE AT FULL GO, I THINK WE'LL
CONTINUE THAT PROCESS, AND
THAT'S WHY THE GOVERNOR

18
00:01:57.450 --> 00:02:05.391
ANNOUNCED WEEK BEFORE LAST THE
INDIANA ECONOMIC RELIEF AND
RECOVERY PLAN BEING DONE BY OUR
TEAM, I'M CO-CHAIRING WITH CHRIS

19
00:02:05.391 --> 00:02:17.937
OF OMB, CHRIS JOHNSTON, TO WORK
THROUGH THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES
AND THINGS WE'VE DONE IN 15
ASSOCIATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS

20
00:02:17.937 --> 00:02:25.678
SO WE CAN COMBINE THAT WITH THE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
>> YOU MENTIONED A PHASED RETURN

21
00:02:25.678 --> 00:02:33.920
TO NORMALCY IN THE ECONOMY. YOU
MENTIONED PPE, THE PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, I KNOW
YOU, THE INDIANA ECONOMIC

22
00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:37.690
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION HAVE
BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN TRYING TO
ACQUIRE MORE OF THAT PPE
MATERIAL.

23
00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:48.301
>> YES, WE HAVE. WE'VE HAD A
TEAM OF FIVE PEOPLE. TURNED INTO
MORE OF A CONCIERGE SERVICE,
STILL CLOSING DEALS AND HAVING A

24
00:02:48.301 --> 00:02:56.309
REMARKABLE YEAR. WE HAVE A TEAM
THAT FOCUSES ON THAT EVERY DAY.
WE'RE CONTACTING COUNTRIES IN
DIFFERENT TIME ZONES. TODAY

25
00:02:56.309 --> 00:03:07.687
WE'LL SURPASS 6 MILLION PIECE
THAT IS WE'VE PURCHASED AND
ORDERED. 5.8 YESTERDAY, I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO STATE, -

26
00:03:07.687 --> 00:03:17.897
ABOUT 530,000 OF THOSE WERE
DONATED BY INDIANA COMPANIES,
DONATED TO US. SO EVERYBODY'S IN
THIS TOGETHER. AND 1,000 OF OUR

27
00:03:17.897 --> 00:03:27.540
MINNEAPOLIS ORDERED FROM HENTZ
IN FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. WE'RE
BUYING A LOT OF WE'RE PROUD,
INSTATE COMPANIES.

28
00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:33.546
>> JIM, AS YOU LOOK AT THE
IMPACT, WIDESPREAD IMPACT,
EXISTING BUSINESSES, COMPANIES,
IN THE STATE, CERTAINLY ARE AND

29
00:03:33.546 --> 00:03:42.622
WILL TAKE A HIT. BUT AS YOU LOOK
AT YOUR EFFORTS AT THE INDIANA
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, AS
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE, HOW IS IT

30
00:03:42.622 --> 00:03:49.929
AFFECTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,
AND ECONOMIC DEAL NOT ONLY THIS
COUNTRY BUT GLOBALLY?
>> I THINK OUR SMALL BUSINESSES

31
00:03:49.929 --> 00:03:56.035
REALLY THE ONES GETTING HIT
HARDEST. SOME BUSINESSES HAVE
CHOSEN TO SHUT DOWN. AUTOMOBILE
PLANTS IN THE STATE HAVE CHOSEN

32
00:03:56.035 --> 00:04:03.409
TO SHUT DOWN FOR A TIME PERIOD
THROUGH MAY 1. THEY DIDN'T HAVE
TO, BUT THEY CHOSE TO DO THAT.
OUR SMALL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION

33
00:04:03.409 --> 00:04:12.118
IS WORKING REALLY HARD, WORKED
WITH THE PPE, PAYCHECK
PROTECTION PROGRAM, THE CARES
ACT, AND NOW PHASE TWO, PROBABLY

34
00:04:12.118 --> 00:04:19.559
VOTE ON TOMORROW, WHICH IS A
TOTAL OF $450 BILLION THAT WILL
BE APPROVED, 310 OF WHICH WILL
GO TO THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION

35
00:04:19.559 --> 00:04:24.697
PROGRAM. SO WE'RE WORKING WITH
THEM TO MAKE SURE WE HELP OUR
BUSINESSES ANY WAY WE POSSIBLY
CAN.

36
00:04:24.697 --> 00:04:32.572
>> YOU MENTIONED SOME OF THESE
TEMPORARY SHUTDOWNS, HONDA
ANNOUNCING ACTUALLY EXTENDING
ITS SHUTDOWN IN GREENSBURG TO

37
00:04:32.572 --> 00:04:41.280
MAY 8. BUT GIVEN THAT, AND
CERTAINLY THE STATE FROM AN
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT,
THE IEDC, AND YOUR EFFORTS

38
00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:49.589
AROUND THE GLOBE, INDIANA COMING
UP ANOTHER RECORD YEAR LOOKING
AT A REALLY GOOD 2020. ANY WAY
TO PREDICT WHERE THE ECONOMIC

39
00:04:49.589 --> 00:04:55.061
DEVELOPMENT BALL MAY BE GOING
ONCE THE ECONOMY BEGINS TO OPEN
BACK UP?
>> WELL, IT'S GOING REALLY WELL

40
00:04:55.061 --> 00:05:04.904
FOR US IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING.
BUSINESSES HAVE A LONGER
TIMEFRAME THAT THEY LOOK AT.
THEY'RE PLANNING THINGS OUT TWO

41
00:05:04.904 --> 00:05:18.084
YEARS IN ADVANCE. WE ARE REALLY
HAVING A GOOD YEAR, 90 PROJECTS
CLOSE, 9,060 JOBS CAP EX,
1.2 BILLION. 72 PRODUCTS IN THE

42
00:05:18.084 --> 00:05:28.695
PIPELINE, REPRESENT OVER 13,000,
AND 14.8 BILLION IN CAP EX. WE
THINK WE HAVE THE BEST SHOT AT
GETTING. IF WE GET THE TOP 27,

43
00:05:28.695 --> 00:05:39.472
THAT WILL BE ABOUT 9,000 JOBS,
3.6 BILLION CAP EX, TAKING US TO
18,000 JOBS AND TAKE US TO
4.8 BILLION IN CAP EX. WE'RE

44
00:05:39.472 --> 00:05:48.247
HAVING A REALLY GOOD YEARS THE
HOLCOMB ADMINISTRATION IS ONLY
1,533 JOBS AWAY FROM 100,000
JOBS IN THREE YEARS AND FOUR

45
00:05:48.247 --> 00:05:54.087
MONTHS.
>> FINALLY QUESTION, JIM, TO
KIND OF REITERATE, AS WE LOOK AT
THIS REOPENING OF THE ECONOMY.

46
00:05:54.087 --> 00:06:00.960
THIS IS GOING TO BE A PHASED
PROCESS. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A
LIGHT SWITCH TURNING ON. IT'S
GOING TO BE A PHASED PROCESS.

47
00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:07.734
GOING TO HAPPEN OVER THE COURSE
OF TIME.
>> THAT'S CORRECT. AND I THINK
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT. THE

48
00:06:07.734 --> 00:06:13.906
GOVERNOR LAST WEEK ANNOUNCED THE
RELIEF OF SOME OF THE BUSINESSES
THAT ARE EITHER IN GROOMING OF
DOGS, HAIRCUT, BARBER SHOPS,

49
00:06:13.906 --> 00:06:20.446
THINGS LIKE THAT, ARE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO REOPEN. THEY ARE
ALREADY. AND I THINK WILL
CONTINUE TO ADD TO THE LIST. AS

50
00:06:20.446 --> 00:06:32.558
I SAID, THE ONES THAT COULD BE
THE MOST -- SIGNIFICANT, PPE
LIKE SOME OF THE ELECTIVE
SURGERIES, AS A RECIPIENT OF TWO

51
00:06:32.558 --> 00:06:41.901
ARTIFICIAL HIPS AND ARTIFICIAL
KNEE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT'S A
VERY LABORIOUS EXERCISE TO DO
THAT. A LOT OF PPES REQUIRED.

52
00:06:41.901 --> 00:06:50.376
SOME OF THE ELECTIVE SURGERIES,
DENTISTRY AND OTHERS, WE'LL SEE
THAT GRADUALLY INCREASE. FOR
NOW, THE FOCUS IS ON THE LOSS OF

53
00:06:50.376 --> 00:06:58.117
LIVES IN INDIANA, AND CASES, NEW
CASES, AND MOST IMPORTANT THING,
GERRY, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO TO COME

54
00:06:58.117 --> 00:07:03.890
OUT OF THIS COMPLETELY IS HAVE A
GREAT TESTING AND TRACING
PROGRAM. EVERY BUSINESS IS GOING
TO NEED THAT. AND I THINK YOU'LL

55
00:07:03.890 --> 00:07:08.895
SEE A DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING IT.
>> ALL RIGHT, JIM SCHELLINGER IS
INDIANA'S SECRETARY OF COMMERCE,
