INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly and Co. announced Friday plans to more than double the size of the drug-making facility it is building in Boone County.
"We like to think about the potential for expansion when we set things up to begin with... And it was fortuitous, we did that because we'll be using bit more land, but it's on the same site," Ricks said during a news conference Friday. Ricks said the expansion increases Lilly's total investment in the LEAP Research and Innovation District in Lebanon from $3.7 billion to $9 billion.
The new Lebanon factory will produce tirzepatide, which is the active pharmaceutical ingredient to Lilly's diabetes drug Mounjaro and weight-loss drug Zepbound.
