Governor Holcomb Honors Businesses for Longevity, Service to Hoosier Workforce
The Terre Haute community will recognize two legendary businesses being honored statewide by Governor Eric J. Holcomb.
The Governor honored 44 Indiana companies with the Governor’s Century or Half Century Business Award, recognizing each company for its longevity and service to its employees, community and the state.
Locally two businesses were represented, including Terre Haute Savings Bank and Sycamore Engineering.
“Today we honor Hoosier business leaders who have been creating jobs and running their businesses in Indiana for more than 50 or 100 years,” said Gov. Holcomb during the ceremony. “I’m excited to celebrate this year’s award recipients and extend a sincere thanks for the role they play in making Indiana one of the nation’s top destinations for business.”
