Work on the 600-acre Lilly campus is progressing swiftly, with mass grading and soil conditioning underway to create retention basins, reach desired building elevations and create earthen berms along some parts of the site perimeter.
Boone County first responders have been able to take advantage of the homes left on the Lebanon Project property to take part in training exercises to strengthen their responses and abilities to support the community. These structures were used before being removed for the site’s earth grading work. Boone County SWAT team members practiced various barricaded gunman and hostage scenarios at one of the properties prior to its demolition. Firefighters from Lebanon and Zionsville both had the opportunity to practice their search and rescue techniques and site ventilation techniques.
Contractors came seeking business.
On Wednesday, June 7, Fluor was the golf cart sponsor of the annual Boone County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament at Ulen Country Club in Lebanon, Indiana. The event was a great way to introduce Fluor to the area business community and communicate how to learn more about the new Lebanon Project and local contractor/supplier opportunities.
As the LP1 Project gets underway in Lebanon, the Lilly construction team made reusing home furnishings from purchased properties a priority. The construction team donated three box truckloads of kitchen cabinets, appliances, interior and exterior doors, along with light fixtures, bathroom vanities, toilets and other reusable furnishings to Habitat for Humanity Boone County ReStore. Items will be sold and reused with proceeds benefiting the local non-profit organization.
