There has been significant progress the past few months at the Lebanon Project site. Three buildings are completely framed with steel. Work is underway on these structures to place side panels, windows and roofs, fireproof steel and temporary interior lighting. The efforts will ensure these buildings are weather tight as summer turns to fall and interior work begins during colder weather. This step means project staff will increase as additional skilled craft professionals join the project to perform interior framing, piping and electrical work.
If you’ve driven by the Lebanon Project site, you’ve likely seen large trucks delivering materials, steel being placed or concrete being poured. It’s a fast- moving, dynamic environment with hundreds of workers coming and going to ensure the project is successful.

LP1 team members donated nearly 2000 items and $500 dollars to help Lebanon children get off to a good start this school year. That’s more than three times the amount collected last year! The supplies were delivered to volunteers at Freedom Church who organize the items for distribution at Lebanon’s annual Serve Day event on July 20 from 10:30-3:30 p.m. at Memorial Park. Each year more than 1000 students and their families take part in Serve Day events which features free back-to-school resources including vision screenings, hair cut vouchers, after-school care information and more.
The LP1 Project Team, which includes Lilly, Fluor, and on-site contractors, held a blood drive on July 24 with the support of Versiti. The effort was even more successful than the blood drive held in May. The drive collected 37 units of blood which is enough to save 51 Indiana lives. There were 24 first-time donors! The LP1 Project Team will continue to host blood drives as the staff increases.
