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.

Fluor is committed to investing in STEM education opportunities for youth. Locally, the Lebanon Project team regularly looks for community outreach opportunities to help promote STEM education and careers in engineering and construction fields.
