STATEHOUSE (April 17, 2024) – "Last week, the recipients of the Indiana Regional Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI) 2.0 were announced, and I'm pleased that all of the counties I represent are receiving funding to improve the quality of life for their residents.

“Union and Franklin counties will benefit from $10 million awarded to the Southeast region, while Henry and Wayne counties will benefit from $35 million awarded to the East Central region.

"The plans these counties put together aim to address vital issues like housing, education, infrastructure, and child care, and I look forward to seeing them implemented, as I know it will benefit the district for years to come."
