The Greater Lafayette Chamber reports that the region has added more than 25 new businesses and $430 million in investment.
That’s an additional $90 million more than the investments made in all of 2009, said Jody Hamilton, director of economic development at Greater Lafayette Commerce.
The report shows Greater Lafayette is on the right track toward economic recovery, Hamilton said.
“There’s certainly more work that needs to be done with the recovery, but for the most part, it’s definitely a positive outlook in the direction that our community is heading,” she said.
