Indiana’s ranking for just about any health metric is far from impressive. It’s a situation that will have markedly unhealthy results not only on Hoosiers’ lives but the state’s workforce prospects if not treated. Previous legislative initiatives – including the recently enacted tobacco tax hike – have taken aim at the problem. But the issue has persisted. Now a new strategy focusing on regional partnerships is being undertaken – and it’s showing some early promise.
The current edition of BizVoice® also contains several additional features. They include:
Fueling Growth in Monroe County: An enhanced spirit of collaboration for the collective need – combined with a push for innovation – is poised to take Monroe County to new heights. Add in the region’s scenery and quality of life amenities, and it’s no wonder people and businesses are proud to call it home.

Colts Stampede to Germany: As the NFL has broadened its reach far beyond the United States, teams have realized there’s a whole new fan base to play football for and new foreign revenue streams to score.
