00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.171
>>GERRY: HELLO AND WELCOME TO
INSIDE INDIANA BUSINESS.
I'M GERRY DICK.
IT HAS BEEN A BIG THREE WEEKS

2
00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:10.777
FOR THE INDIANA ECONOMY.
IN THE SPAN OF LESS THAN A
MONTH, THREE GLOBAL BRANDS
ANNOUNCED PLANS TO COLLECTIVELY

3
00:00:10.777 --> 00:00:19.085
INVEST AROUND $1 BILLION DOLLARS
AND CREATE NEARLY 3,000
JOBS...AND THE COMMITMENTS ARE
SPREAD AROUND THE STATE.

4
00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:26.760
IN FORT WAYNE, AMAZON TO BUILD A
THIRD MAJOR FULFILLMENT CENTER
IN ALLEN COUNTY WITH PLANS TO
ADD NEARLY 1,000 FULL-TIME JOBS;

5
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:33.400
IN THE HENDRICKS COUNTY
COMMUNITY OF CLAYTON, JUST WEST
OF INDIANAPOLIS, APPLE TO INVEST
$100 MILLION IN STATE-OF-THE ART

6
00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:39.739
DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND NEARLY
500 JOBS;
AND IN PRINCETON, IN SOUTHWEST
INDIANA, TOYOTA IS EXPANDING

7
00:00:39.739 --> 00:00:48.481
AGAIN, WITH PLANS TO INVEST MORE
THAN $800 MILLION AND CREATE
1,400 JOBS AS PRODUCTION OF NEW
TOYOTA AND LEXUS SUVS ARRIVES AT

8
00:00:48.481 --> 00:00:56.089
THE MASSIVE PLANT.
AND THIS WEEK, THE STATE
UNVEILED PLANS TO INVEST $500
MILLION IN AN INITIATIVE

9
00:00:56.089 --> 00:01:02.262
PROPONENTS SAY CAN BE
TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR REGIONAL
ECONOMIES AROUND THE STATE.
GOVERNOR ERIC HOLCOMB STOPPED BY

10
00:01:02.262 --> 00:01:08.735
THE INSIDE INDIANA BUSINESS
STUDIOS THIS WEEK
TO TALK ABOUT THE BIG INVESTMENT
AND SURPRISED US BY PULLING OUT

11
00:01:08.735 --> 00:01:15.975
A STATE MAP WHICH HIGHLIGHTS
NUMEROUS JOBS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS UNDERWAY AND PLANNED IN
VIRTUALLY EVERY CORNER OFF THE

12
00:01:15.975 --> 00:01:26.419
STATE...THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE
JOBS PIPELINE FILLING UP
RAPIDLY...
>> GOV. ERIC HOLCOMB THANKS FOR

13
00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:33.059
TAKING TIME TO JOIN US.
YOU'VE BEEN BUSY FROM AN
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOBS
STANDPOINT THE LAST FEW WEEKS

14
00:01:33.059 --> 00:01:40.233
AND WE WILL GET INTO THOSE
ANNOUNCEMENTS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK
AT WHAT I THINK IT IS NOTEWORTHY
AMONG OTHER THINGS TOYOTA AMAZON

15
00:01:40.233 --> 00:01:47.640
APPLE CACKLE THREE PARTS OF THE
STATE NOT JUST CENTRAL INDIANA
FORT WAYNE CENTRAL INDIANA AND
SOUTHWEST INDIANA.

16
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:54.347
>> THE HOPE IS ALIVE AND MORE
THAN THAT THE TIDE IS TURNING
AND YOU THINK ABOUT CLAYTON
INDIANA NOT A LOT OF HOOSIERS

17
00:01:54.347 --> 00:02:03.790
WOULD HAVE PICKED THAT ON A MAP
UNTIL APPLE DECIDED TO INVEST
$100 MILLION IN CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES AND AS YOU

18
00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:11.564
MENTIONED IN FORT WAYNE ANOTHER
1,000 JOBS WITH THE AMAZON AND
THEY HAVE ABOUT 20,000 EMPLOYEES
IN THE STATE OF INDIANA AND OF

19
00:02:11.564 --> 00:02:19.005
COURSE, PRINCETON.
THAT IS INVESTED BILLION OVER
THE YEARS.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I

20
00:02:19.005 --> 00:02:27.814
WAS ANNOUNCING 600 MILLION THEN
700 MILLION THEN 800 MILLION.
THEY HAVE 10,000 FOLKS GOING
THROUGH THE GATE EVERY DAY.

21
00:02:27.814 --> 00:02:35.255
TOYOTA IS BIGGER THAN THE CITY
OF PRINCETON.
WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THOSE
COMMUNITIES IS TRULY

22
00:02:35.255 --> 00:02:43.196
TRANSFORMATIONAL WHETHER IT IS
HELPING BUILD A YMCA IN DOWNTOWN
PRINCETON INDIANA, THE CAREERS
AND THE LITTLE LEAGUE AND

23
00:02:43.196 --> 00:02:51.204
EVERYTHING THEY SUPPORT.
SO IT HAS A COMPOUNDING POSITIVE
IMPACT BEYOND JUST THE CAREERS
THAT ARE CREATED.

24
00:02:51.204 --> 00:02:57.377
>> TALK ABOUT THAT AND I'VE BEEN
AROUND LONG ENOUGH AND WAS THERE
FOR THE GROUNDBREAKING YEARS
AGO.

25
00:02:57.377 --> 00:03:04.183
BUT THE IMPACT YOU TALK ABOUT
NEARLY 10,000 EMPLOYEES THAT
DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE THE
SUPPLIER NETWORK.

26
00:03:04.183 --> 00:03:12.025
THE IMPACT THIS 800 PLUS MILLION
DOLLAR ANNOUNCEMENT WILL HAVE ON
THE REGION IS EXPONENTIAL.
>> THE SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE STATE

27
00:03:12.025 --> 00:03:21.601
OF INDIANA THE NUMBER ONE
MANUFACTURER STATE PER CAPITA IN
THE NATION AND HAVING OUR PRO
GROWTH TAX AND REGULATORY

28
00:03:21.601 --> 00:03:30.410
ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPLY CHAIN IS
GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE
OEMS AND WE ARE SAYING COME ON,
IN OUR BOOKS ARE BALANCED WE

29
00:03:30.410 --> 00:03:38.484
PROVIDE USABILITY AND CONTINUITY
AND PREDICTABILITY AND
CONFIDECE THAT YOU CAN GROW AT
YOUR PREFERRED SCALE AND PACE

30
00:03:38.484 --> 00:03:43.790
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE SEEING
HAPPENING IN THOSE SMALL AND
MEDIUM-SIZE COMPANIES COMING
HERE AS WELL.

31
00:03:43.790 --> 00:03:52.865
LIKE YOU SAID ALL OVER THE STATE
OF INDIANA.
>> TOYOTA AMAZON APPLE CAN'T DO
THOSE WHEN YOU SEE INVESTMENT

32
00:03:52.865 --> 00:04:00.206
AND WHEN OTHERS SEE INVESTMENT
FROM PEOPLE LIKE APPLE AND
AMAZON CACTUS THAT HAVE A
SPILLOVER OF FACT AND A DOMINO

33
00:04:00.206 --> 00:04:08.014
EFFECT IF YOU ARE INVESTING IN
INDIANA MAYBE WE SHOULD TOO.
>> WE HAVE ENJOYED THAT WHEN YOU
HAVE COMPANIES LIKE LILLEY AND

34
00:04:08.014 --> 00:04:16.990
ROCHE AND CUMMINS SO WE HAVE
LONG ENJOYED THOSE MARQUEE NAMES
HOWEVER, HAVING SAID THAT, NOW
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO AND ARE

35
00:04:16.990 --> 00:04:24.597
SUCCEEDING AT IS GROWING THE
ECOSYSTEM SO THE EMPHASIS IN THE
SALES FORCE THAT ARE COMING AS
WELL, THEY COMPLEMENT THOSE

36
00:04:24.597 --> 00:04:32.005
EFFORTS.
WE STARTED KIND OF ON HIGH
GROUND BEING CENTRALLY LOCATED
IN THE UNITED STATES AND A LOT

37
00:04:32.005 --> 00:04:38.211
OF COMPANIES ARE SAYING
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION BUT
THAT WILL BE BACKED UP WITH THE
BUSINESS CLIMATE AND YOU HAVE TO

38
00:04:38.211 --> 00:04:47.053
HAVE ACCESS TO THE WORKFORCE AND
THEY LEAN INTO BUILDING IN THE
STATE OF INDIANA AND THEY COME
IN AND HAVE A SALARY RANGE AND

39
00:04:47.053 --> 00:04:56.696
THEY CAN PULL PEOPLE FROM 30 OR
45 MILES A NUMBER SO YOU HAVE TO
MAKE SURE YOU BUILD A STRONG
QUALITY OF PLACE FOR THOSE

40
00:04:56.696 --> 00:05:05.838
EMPLOYEES AND TEAMMATES TO GO
AND WORK INSIDE THAT.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT BUILDING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND LET'S GO TO

41
00:05:05.838 --> 00:05:13.613
NORTHWEST INDIANA AND OUTSIDE
THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS THE SOUTH
SHORE EXTENSION MASSIVE
INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSFORMATIONAL

42
00:05:13.613 --> 00:05:18.384
GENERATIONAL PROJECT GOING ON
OUT THERE.
>> IT'S BEEN OVER 100 YEARS
SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN SINGLED

43
00:05:18.384 --> 00:05:27.994
TRACK GOING ONE WAY NOW WE ARE
DOUBLE TRACKING THAT SO IMAGINE
A POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH ALONG
THAT ROUTE AND COMING DOWN FROM

44
00:05:27.994 --> 00:05:36.269
HAMMOND TO DYER AND WESTLAKE
CORRIDOR EXPANSION AS WELL AND
HAVING THOSE NEW HUBS THAT ARE
MAGNETIC AND WHEN YOU THINK

45
00:05:36.269 --> 00:05:46.279
ABOUT THE GROWTH WE ARE SEEING
COMING FROM THE WEST AND COMING
UP ACROSS THE RIVER IN THE SOUTH
AND IT'S THE TWO OPPOSITE ENDS

46
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:54.887
OF OUR STATE JEFFERSONVILLE AND
GERRY AND THAT WHOLE REGION, THE
SKY IS REALLY THE LIMIT FOR
WHERE WE END UP IN TEN OR 20

47
00:05:54.887 --> 00:06:03.996
YEARS AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE
PLANNING FOR.
>> VERY QUICKLY WE WILL TALK
MORE AFTER THE BREAK BUT THE

48
00:06:03.996 --> 00:06:10.636
JEFFERSONVILLE AREA YOU
MENTIONED THAT ITS ENORMOUS
6,000 ACRES AND IT CONTINUES TO
GROW AS WELL.

49
00:06:10.636 --> 00:06:18.411
>> YOU THINK ABOUT THE
PERCENTAGE OF THAT ACREAGE THAT
WE STILL HAVE LEFT TO DEVELOP
AND YOU WILL SEE SOME MORE

50
00:06:18.411 --> 00:06:24.851
HEADLINES COME SOON ABOUT THE
CONTINUED GROWTH BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY COMPANIES YOU
MENTIONED THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND

51
00:06:24.851 --> 00:06:33.493
THIS IS ALL ABOUT CUSTOMER
CONVENIENCE BEING ON TIME, AHEAD
OF SCHEDULE UNDER BUDGET AND WE
OFFER ALL THAT SO YOU SEE

52
00:06:33.493 --> 00:06:39.699
CLAYTON INDIANA PRIME LOCATION
IN TERMS OF OUR ROAD SYSTEM IN
REAL SYSTEM AND AIRPORTS AND
WATER PORTS ULTIMATELY TO BE

53
00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:46.739
ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD AND START RIGHT HERE AND
THE HEART OF THE HEARTLAND.
>> INVESTMENT AND JOBS ALL VERY

54
00:06:46.739 --> 00:06:54.213
POSITIVE FOR THE STATE OF
INDIANA, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
TALENT PIPELINE, WHEN WE COME
BACK, FROM THE BREAK I WILL TALK

55
00:06:54.213 --> 00:06:55.214
ABOUT A 500 MILLION-DOLLAR
