OCT. 17-23, 2025
As Elanco Animal Health moves into its new headquarters campus at the former GM stamping plant, officials in Hancock County are still working to fill the corporate and manufacturing campus they are leaving behind. Elanco had been the only tenant on the 20-acre campus at Interstate 70 and State Road 9, which has five connected buildings and 224,000 square feet of office and lab space. Now, IBJ reporter Daniel Bradley writes, business, community and health officials are working together to use the space to anchor what they hope will be an agriculture district. Also, reporter Marek Mazurek writes about the controversy over nondisclosure agreements that local officials across Indiana have signed as they negotiate with tech giants over data center deals. And reporter Mickey Shuey talks with Holladay Properties exec Jordan Corbin about the projects the South Bend-based developer has underway in Indianapolis.
