Governor lauds Lilly announcement and stresses private-sector job creation
Summary
The governor praised a Lilly announcement as beneficial for jobs and economic growth, defended the private sector’s role in prosperity, and said the state should foster both large employers and Main Street small businesses.
Asked about a Lilly announcement, the governor said the private sector is central to job creation and economic prosperity and described the announcement as the kind of activity the state should welcome. "If it isn't for the private economy where you're creating something real... that's how government gets its revenues," he said, adding that Indiana should attract companies like Lilly while encouraging small businesses on Main Street.
The governor tied private-sector investment to state prosperity and reiterated the administration's broader economic approach—regional IEDC efforts and policies intended to make the state an attractive place for business. He thanked questioners and closed the session after noting an audio problem; no further details about the Lilly announcement were provided in the transcript.
