Southeast Neighborhood Development, Inc. (SEND) and Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett announced Tuesday that the Twin Aire community was awarded a $45,000 Technical Assistance Grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. SEND plans to match the grant and invest $90,000 in a feasibility study of a business incubator for job creation and training.

Zionsville Mayor Democrat Emily Styron took office in January and made economic development a focus for 2020.

Indianapolis mayoral candidates Democratic incumbent Joe Hogsett, Republican State Sen. Jim Merritt and Libertarian Douglas McNaughton participated in the races final debate Monday night.

Officials in Indianapolis announced they will be launching a plan to be more economically inclusive. The city hopes to reduce income inequality by creating more high-wage jobs.

eHealth, which runs an online health insurance exchange, says it will bring 500 high-wage jobs to the city by the end of 2023.

Mayor Joe Hogsett introduced the policy recommendations by noting that while the city has seen significant growth in the last ten years, poverty has gone up by 80%.

The governor's office says he plans to meet with government, business and academic leaders in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and France.

The change many Hoosier cities are spending millions to make can help boost the local economy, but can also be hard on small businesses.

The governor will also meet with the Hungarian operations managers of Eli Lilly, Allison Transmission and other large Hoosier firms.

During the trip, Holcomb will meet with government officials in London as well as potential investors in Indiana's top sectors, including advanced manufacturing.
