Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Indiana is seeing a large influx of industrial construction projects, with Industrial Info tracking more than $39.6 billion worth of projects underway in the state. Some large blockbuster projects contribute substantially to the state's spending, but there's plenty of room for smaller undertakings as well.
One of Indiana's largest projects comes from pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Company (Indianapolis, Indiana), which is developing a multi-building campus in Lebanon, about 30 miles from the company's Indianapolis headquarters. Lilly is dropping more than $7 billion on the project, which will include facilities for peptide manufacturing and the creation of active pharmaceutical ingredients for popular glucose drugs. Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Fluor Corporation (Irving, Texas) broke ground on the project in 2023 and is expected to wrap up in early 2028.

Another multibillion-dollar, multi-building campus is being built in New Carlisle, located in the north of the state, about 15 miles from South Bend. There, Amazon Web Services (Seattle, Washington) has engaged general contractor Clayco Construction Company (Chicago, Illinois) to construct up to 16 data center buildings. A substantial portion of the work will be completed by the end of this year, with some expansion work possibly extending into 2026. The data center will have the highest processing capabilities, able to handle power-hungry artificial intelligence loads.

Earlier this year, Amazon signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for EDP Renewables North America's (Houston, Texas) third phase of construction for the Riverstart solar facility near Modoc, Indiana. The 100-megawatt (MW) Phase III was completed toward the end of last year, bringing the complex's total generation potential to 300 MW. But even with the Amazon PPA in hand, EDP isn't finished with the development yet. Just as Phase III was wrapping up, Phase IV began, which will grow Riverstart by another 200 MW. Phase IV is expected to be completed by the end of this year, resulting in 500 MW of aggregate generation potential from the facility. Subscribers to Industrial Info's GMI Project Database can learn more by viewing the project report. The Riverstart IV project is one of 13 solar developments being tracked by Industrial Info that are currently under construction in the state, contributing nearly $3.3 billion in estimated spending.

Indiana's agricultural sector is an important driver in the state's economy, contributing more than $35 billion annually to the state, according to the Indiana's Department of Agriculture. Soybeans are the biggest crop, the state's production of which makes it the fourth-largest soybean producer in the U.S. Soybeans accounted for more than $2.1 billion in agricultural exports from the state in 2023. One of the biggest soybean processors in the U.S., Bunge Limited (Chesterfield, Missouri), is significantly increasing the capacity of its soybean-processing plant in Morristown, about 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis. Bunge is adding new buildings to the campus and making improvements to existing ones with new machinery and equipment that will boost the facility's processing capacity from 5.3 million bushels per year to 9.8 million per year. The project is expected to be completed toward the end of this year. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Food & Beverage Project Database can click here for more details on the project.
Production growth beyond existing capacity is what most companies like to see, and such is the case with U.S. seafood provider Gorton's Incorporated (Gloucester, Massachusetts), which is developing a new plant in Lebanon, Indiana. While the company's flagship facility in Massachusetts will continue as its primary production hub, the new Indiana facility will allow Gorton's to expand its production and storage, which has reached its limit in Massachusetts. In partnership with distribution company United States Cold Storage Incorporated (Camden, New Jersey), Gorton's is constructing a new facility to process, cook and package fresh and frozen seafood products that is expected to be completed by the end of this year, bringing about 160 jobs to area.
