South Central Indiana Economic Development Group (SCIED) member EDCs have been hard at work over the last 60 days within their communities to offer support to local businesses impacted by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order, which has forced businesses across the region to suspend or limit operations.  The Governor’s stay-at-home order is expected to expire at midnight on Friday, May 1, 2020, pending any extension that may be announced.

Several member EDC efforts are listed below:
