Gov. Mike Braun is remaking the Indiana Economic Development Corporation board of directors, appointing nine new members Monday.

Braun isn’t keeping any of the board’s current members.

The governor said he’s received a lot of interest in serving on the IEDC board.

“That board had gotten to be maybe not as active as it should have been,” Braun said.

The IEDC has attracted significant controversy over the last few years. Braun ordered an independent forensic audit of the agency earlier this year after allegations of ethics violations and self-dealing by staffers employed by IEDC-affiliated organizations, including Elevate Ventures.
