The Indiana Senate has passed a bill that aims to increase transparency and oversight at the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The bill, SB 295, requires the IEDC to inform local communities before purchasing at least 100 acres of land. This comes amid growing concerns over the state entity's economic development strategy, particularly in central Indiana. Senate Bill 295 also adds two non-voting General Assembly members to the IEDC board.
