2025 legislative preview, Mid-States Corridor, Dollar General permit denial | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

The Indiana General Assembly begins its 2025 session next week — the first in nearly a decade without Eric Holcomb in the governor’s office. Mike Braun will be sworn in as the state’s next governor on Jan. 13.

The Indiana Department of Transportation is planning a new highway in the southern part of the state that will bypass Huntingburg and Jasper and connect to I-69. Called the Mid-States Corridor, it's in its second phase of study, which focuses on Dubois County.

And, last month a small town in Vigo County became the latest rural community to deny a permit for a new Dollar General.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
