(Southeastern IN) – Governor Mike Braun made several stops in Southeastern Indiana last week.
The governor visited Greensburg, Versailles and Batesville to highlight workforce development, advanced manufacturing, public safety, and rural health care.
Braun toured Honda’s Indiana Auto Plant in Greensburg, where about 2,600 Hoosiers manufacture the Honda CR-V, CR-V Hybrid and Civic Hatchback.
Honda has invested more than $1.3 billion in the facility, which has produced more than 2.6 million vehicles since manufacturing began in 2008.
Governor Braun visited the Indiana State Police Versailles Post to meet with troopers and discuss district operations and public-safety needs in Southeastern Indiana.
During the visit, the governor participated in the formal recognition of First Sergeant David Meyer’s promotion following his recovery from a serious injury sustained during a November 2025 line-of-duty altercation.
Gov. Braun concluded the week at the ribbon cutting for Margaret Mary Health’s new hospital in Batesville.
The $125 million project received $2 million through Indiana’s READI program and will expand health care services for more than 65,000 residents in Ripley, Franklin and surrounding counties.
“Indiana is leading the charge on workforce development, advanced manufacturing, public safety, and rural health care,” Gov. Braun said. “At every stop I made last week, I saw Hoosiers working to create new opportunities and strengthen their communities.”
