Every Friday, we feature an Indiana entrepreneur's success story from our Entrepreneurship Indiana Yearbook. Here's the latest. Meet Hector Cornejo, the founder of Momax Marble & Granite. After years of battling Chicago traffic, Hector chose to bring his dream to life in Merrillville, Indiana. Since 1996, Momax has grown into a thriving full-service kitchen and bathroom design center, employing around 50 people across two locations. From custom granite and quartz countertops to stunning public projects like the waterfalls at Indiana University Northwest, Momax is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication found right here in Indiana. With a family-oriented approach, Hector, his wife, son and daughter work tirelessly to ensure every project is a masterpiece. Momax is just one example of Indiana’s entrepreneurial spirit. Read their story and several other success stories of Indiana founders in our annual Entrepreneurship Indiana Yearbook: https://lnkd.in/g9WEzC7u Indiana Small Business Development Center (Indiana SBDC) #indiana #entrepreneurship #EntrepreneurshipIN

Huntingburg, Indiana is celebrating the opening of Huntingburg Alley, a new community asset in its downtown historic district, thanks to Indiana’s nationally recognized Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative (READI). “Seeing firsthand the positive impact on local communities the READI program is making is exactly why we established the program years ago,” said Gov. Eric Holcomb. “The revitalization of this once-vacant public space is bringing new life to Huntingburg’s downtown district in such creative community-minded ways."

Today, we're in Terre Haute at Indiana State University for Engage - West Central Indiana. Indiana's economy is stronger than ever. Sec. David Rosenberg spoke about the Hoosier state's record-setting momentum, with $77 billion in committed capital investment secured in the last 10 quarters. Last year's committed capital investments are expected to create 22,000 new jobs with an average wage of roughly $75,000 annually – the highest committed wages in the IEDC’s history. This success wouldn't be possible without the efforts and partnerships of our local communities and regions like West Central Indiana. Companies like ENTEK International, Steel Dynamics, Inc, Saturn Petcare and Novelis know this region is committed to their success. And the Wabash River region has the workforce to help them grow. With the help of READI, West Central Indiana is also working hard to give that workforce reasons to stay and enjoy a quality of life they can brag about. We really enjoyed hearing the panel share this region's successes and discuss how challenges can and should be faced. We're leaving energized and ready to tackle anything. #indiana #economicdevelopment
