Inari Agriculture used Holcomb’s visit to highlight its greenhouse expansion.
“We are so incredibly grateful that you have chosen to grow and grow and grow,” Gov. Holcomb said, addressing Inari Agriculture, located in West Lafayette, during a visit to the company. “It’s just so impressive what you’re doing here. And even more so, the impact it’s going to have on the world.”
