 Indiana is closing out the year with a mix of political maneuvering, economic momentum, and local challenges that listeners across the state are watching closely. Inside INdiana Business reports that Governor Mike Braun is using his first year in office to reshape economic development and energy policy, emphasizing data centers and small modular nuclear reactors as he sets priorities for the 2026 legislative session. According to the program, Braun is also pushing changes in state government structure and transparency, signaling more debate ahead over how aggressively Indiana should court large-scale industrial and tech projects.

Fiscal news is strong. Indiana Economic Digest reports that a new state revenue forecast shows the budget surplus on track to approach 5 billion dollars by mid-2027, giving lawmakers significant room for tax, education, and infrastructure decisions in the coming sessions. At the same time, WISH-TV’s All INdiana Politics notes that voters will not see new congressional districts in 2026, easing fears of another round of redistricting fights.

Local governments are advancing bricks-and-mortar projects. The City of Fort Wayne reports that construction is underway on a major mixed-use development tied to its Riverfront Fort Wayne Phase 2B, bringing new housing and commercial space to the downtown riverfront. Engage Fort Wayne notes that the city is also investing over 41 million dollars in neighborhood infrastructure upgrades in 2025, including streets, sidewalks, and drainage. Statewide, the Indiana Finance Authority has approved more than 29 million dollars in residential infrastructure funding to support housing-related water and sewer projects, according to 95.3 MNC.

The broader economy continues to diversify. Inside INdiana Business highlights the rapid growth of data centers and advanced manufacturing, while RWE Clean Energy reports that construction has begun on the 200 megawatt Prairie Creek power project in Blackford County, a facility expected to power about 42,000 homes when it begins operations in 2028 and support hundreds of construction jobs. In central Indiana, the City of Noblesville’s year-in-review notes new corporate relocations and expansions that are adding jobs and expanding the local tax base.

Community and education news are also in focus. The Indiana Daily Student reports that Indiana University’s 85.9 million dollar state-funded renovation of the School of Public Health and Bill Garrett Fieldhouse continues in Bloomington, part of a broader effort to modernize campus infrastructure by 2026. Philanthropy News Digest reports that a 75 million dollar partnership between the State of Indiana and Lilly Endowment is aimed at boosting K–12 education statewide, supporting curriculum, teacher development, and college and career readiness.

Weather-wise, WTHR 13News reports that central Indiana just experienced a stretch of colder days with snow showers followed by an unseasonably warm push that could bring near-record highs for Christmas, underscoring the increasingly wide swings in winter conditions.

Looking ahead, listeners can expect intense debate over energy strategy, data center growth, and how to use the projected budget surplus, along with continued attention to school safety grants, housing infrastructure, and crime trends in Indianapolis and other cities.
