Why Eli Lilly chose Kenosha County for massive expansion
On an investment spree with billions of dollars worth of projects ongoing globally, Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company chose Kenosha County for its latest — and one of its largest — investments.
The pharmaceutical giant announced Thursday that it was planning a $3 billion expansion in Pleasant Prairie at a site formerly home to Nexus Pharmaceuticals. The company expects to create 750 new jobs there as part of the expansion. Approximately 100 employees already work at the roughly 100,000-square-foot facility at 10300 128th Ave. in the Prairie Highlands Corporate Park.
