Indiana has cancelled its contract with Porter Novelli, inked in April over fallout from the state's religious freedom law.

PN is set to collect $365K for its work in assessing and repairing damage to the state's economy from the controversial law.

Chris Cotterill, EVP of the state's economic development entity, thanked PN for its "initial guidance," and called the firm a "trusted partner throughout its consultantancy."

Cotterill said Indiana "continues to make headlines as a state that is attracting and adding private sector jobs at record-setting levels and is being recognized by national publications for its business-friendly climate."

PN North American president Brad MacAfee said the firm respects the decision of the Indiana Economic Development Corp.

"We hope that the framework developed by Porter Novelli, which sets forth best practices for future efforts, proves useful to our trusted colleagues in the IEDC," said MacAfee.
