Pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly opens Concord campus

Eli Lilly and Company opened their $2 billion facility Friday. The company will package and ship medicines around the world. “This place isn’t just about the building. It’s a symbol of hope,” said Director Rosa Manso. “Here, science and innovation come together. We work for our purpose — to improve lives worldwide.” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper helped cut the ribbon for the facility. It was a full circle moment for a project he helped facilitate over two years ago by luring Eli Lilly and Company to Cabarrus County. D.A. Everett Construction Group was proud to be a partner in this amazing build!
