March 26, 2024 – JASPER, IN – Daniel Bowen has been awarded a relocation impact grant as part of the Choose Southern Indiana/Radius Indiana Employer Incentive Program. Choose Southern Indiana's Employer Incentive Program invests in incentive payments to new employees who are hired from out-of-state by local businesses in participating counties: Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Greene, Lawrence, Martin, Orange, and Washington. Radius Indiana and the participating employers contribute funds to complete the $5,000 incentive grant. Daniel and his wife Michelle are relocating to Huntingburg from Denver, Colorado.
