State and local officials will join executives from Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE: LLY) on Monday to break ground on the company’s manufacturing plants in the LEAP Innovation and Research District in Boone County.

Last May, Lilly announced plans to invest $2.1 billion to build two facilities in the district and create up to 500 jobs.

The scope of Lilly’s manufacturing campus has since grown. Jennifer Massey, associate vice president for manufacturing at Lilly, told the Lebanon Planning Commission in January that the campus would ultimately include 12 buildings, ranging from administrative offices, lab space, manufacturing, utilities, warehousing and a fire station.

We’ll have more details in Monday’s INside Edge Midday Report newsletter.
