Hey John,
We’re reaching out with more big news for Indiana.
Fortune 500 pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly has chosen Indiana for a $2.1 billion investment in two new manufacturing facilities!
The Indianapolis-based company’s newest investment will bring more than 500 new full-time jobs and 1,500 high-paying construction jobs to Indiana.
Here’s what the Governor had to say about the news:
“Lilly has been an anchor in Indiana’s economy for generations, and this announcement means they will continue to be here for generations … I am incredibly proud Lilly continues to make exciting investments in Indiana that will better the lives and opportunities of Hoosiers for decades to come. And in turn, the very research and pharmaceutical manufacturing spearheaded here in our state will improve lives worldwide.”
More from the official press release:
These planned facilities will increase Lilly’s manufacturing capacity for active ingredients and new therapeutic modalities, like genetic medicines, representing the company’s dedication to expanding its portfolio of potentially life-changing treatments for patients around the world. In addition to the full-time jobs Lilly plans to create, the company estimates up to 1,500 construction jobs will be required while the facilities are being built.
Lilly employs more than 36,000 people worldwide, including more than 10,400 in Indiana. Once Lilly finalizes its location plans and begins construction, the company will hire various roles to support the operations of the two new sites. Interested applicants may apply online once positions are available.”
