(Aurora, Ind.) - Governor Mike Braun traveled across Indiana last week, which included stops in southeast Indiana. 

The governor visited Aurora, in addition to other area towns such as Rushville, Liberty, and Connersville. The point of his travels was to highlight Indiana's small businesses, economic development, hundreds of new Hoosier high-wage jobs and the local leaders and community institutions helping move Indiana forward. 

“My travel throughout our state last week had a little bit of everything: a major groundbreaking that will bring hundreds of new high-wage jobs to a community, small businesses creating great careers in their community, and lots of Hoosier hospitality from the local leaders looking out for their communities and neighbors.” — Governor Mike Braun

On Thursday, Governor Braun toured Veraestau Historic Site in Aurora, meeting with local leaders and seeing firsthand the work being done to preserve one of Indiana’s historic treasures for future generations. Governor Braun was joined by Mayor Patrick Schwing.

Governor Braun sat down with local leaders in Rushville, held a community roundtable with local leaders in Liberty hosted by Union County Sheriff Jeff Adams, and held an economic development-focused community roundtable in Connersville.
