According to Chief Executive, the results of the 12th annual survey show that CEOs favor states with friendly tax and regulatory climates, quality workforces and strong living environments, which includes cost of living, education and state and local attitudes toward business.

In addition to being a great place to do business, Moody’s annual Investor Service State Debt Medians report ranks Indiana 11th lowest in the nation for tax-supported debt.
