Indiana could soon toll I-70 from border to border, a proposal that would cost passenger vehicles roughly $16 and trucks more than $80 per trip across the state. Danville Duncan, associate professor at Indiana University's O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, breaks down the fuel tax erosion driving the push for new highway revenue and the real concerns about traffic diverting to smaller roads like State Road 40.
Also covered: Indianapolis prepares for its ninth Final Four, with Post Malone headlining the NCAA March Madness Music Festival and the city hosting Division I, II, and III championships alongside the NIT for the first time ever, a combination expected to generate $400 million for the Indiana economy. Toyota is investing $200 million at its Princeton plant to boost Grand Highlander production, and Patrick Industries is rolling out a digital design studio that lets RV buyers visualize their purchase on a life-size virtual screen.
Then, the turnaround story at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis. After a winless 2023 season, the football program built back-to-back winning records by adding Mental Resiliency Training, a pilot program led by Dr. Elaine Gilbert of Riley Children's Health and supported by a grant from the Riley Children's Foundation. The program is now expanding to athletes across all Indianapolis Public Schools.
Plus, Fort Wayne's Science Central opens a new $3 million planetarium, the region's only public facility of its kind, and IBJ Media's Innovate Indiana series returns for a fifth year with nine stops across the state.
