• SealCorpUSA (Evansville): “The first thing I’d like to do is to thank Donna Crooks, Shannon Sizemore, who I don’t think is here with GAGE and Dorrie LoBue with the IEDC for working as hard as they have in the last month to make it possible for SealCorpUSA’s expansion in Indiana and continue our growth here in Evansville," said Ken Rust, president of SealCorpUSA. "Right to Work, tax incentives and economic development programs are really the key to creating jobs and SealCorpUSA is a real company with real jobs. And because of the work GAGE and IEDC has done on this project, SealCorp is making the commitment to create more jobs for the next 10 years here in Evansville, Ind. Thank you.” Read More...
