Indiana Governor Mike Pence suspends state support for construction of a fertilizer manufacturing plant in Posey County. Pence instructed the Indiana Economic Development Corporation to halt the project with the Midwest Fertilizer Corporation of the Fatima Group pending further investigation. The action came immediately after Pence learned the U.S. Department of Defense considered the Pakistani company uncooperative with efforts to eliminate improvised explosive devices in Central and South Asia.
