(UNDATED) - Governor Daniels says half Indiana’s deals to land new businesses the last three years have gone to the state’s smallest cities and towns.
Daniels told an annual conference of rural Indiana leaders the expansion of broadband internet service to rural areas removes one of the last arguments against placing businesses in rural areas
He says he's prodded companies coming to Indiana to consider the low costs and willing workforces in communities that haven't seen big new developments in decades.
94-percent of Hoosier cities and towns have fewer than 25-thousand people. Daniels says he's put new government offices in those communities when he can -- for instance, a new BMV mail center in Winchester.
