On June 29, 2006 , Build Indiana Council representatives took part in a ceremony where over $3.8 Billion was transferred to Indiana bank accounts for use on highway and bridge construction projects around the state.  BIC Chairman Lee Carmichael answered a telephone call on behalf of the over 500 contractors, designers, material and equipment suppliers that work in Indiana ’s highway construction industry.  During this call a representative of JP Morgan Chase acknowledged receipt of a $380 Million transfer to Indiana from the consortium that has leased the Indiana Toll Road. Several transfers were made over the course of about one hour.  Afterwards, Chairman Carmichael spoke directly with Governor Mitch Daniels and thanked him for his commitment to building roads and creating jobs in Indiana.
