With more than 2,800 personnel already on site and new workers joining daily, Fluor remains committed to keeping both our team members and local farmers safe on Boone County roadways. To support this effort, the Boone County Farm Bureau and Purdue Extension have partnered with the Lebanon Project since before ground was broken in 2023 to promote the seasonal We’re on This Road Together safety campaign each fall and spring.
On Saturday, Aug. 9, Fluor and Eli Lilly and Company sponsored and participated in the annual Boone County Cancer Society Battle of the BBQ at Memorial Park in Lebanon, Indiana.
Jennifer Kim and Eric White recently relocated to Boone County to support the Lebanon Project. They have spent the last few months enjoying all that the area has to offer. Keep an eye out for them and our other team members around town.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 40% of the skilled trades workforce is expected to retire within the next decade. This fact, and fewer young people entering the trades, has created an unprecedented demand for skilled trades professionals across various industries, especially construction.
For the third year in a row, Eli Lilly and Company, Fluor and companies working at the LP1 project site hosted an employee-driven school supply and backpack donation to benefit Freedom Church Serve Day on Aug. 2. Staff donated 1,900 items and gave ten-times the amount of cash donations over last year with a $5,300 donation. The total donation include cash and items was valued at $12,600. The supplies will benefit an estimated 1,000 Boone County school children.
Boone Senior Services took its monthly “mystery” trip to the Lilly LP1 project site in late June. The group was greeted and received a project overview from Eli Lilly and Company and Fluor site leadership. They rode buses to tour the construction site and asked great questions about the project.
Eli Lilly and Company along with Fluor staff at the Lebanon Project construction site hosted a blood drive in early May.
Progress continues on the Lilly Lebanon project site on the north side of town. On Episode 212 of the #LovinLebanon Podcast, Todd Dando and Jeff Wagner from Fluor Corporation give an update on the construction process. Roughly two thousand workers are on-site right now, but that number is about to increase. Jeff and Todd share the efforts in place to meet upcoming challenges.
Fluor Construction’s Jeff Wagner and Rae Hostetler of Hostetler PR joined Radio Mom’s What’s Up Boone County podcast host Kent Frandsen to give an update on the Lilly Project in Lebanon, Indiana. Jeff shares about progress and what to expect in the future. Listen to the podcast posted on May 3 to learn more.
