宾夕法尼亚州史上最大生命科学投资：礼来35亿美元药厂在 Lehigh County 动工 州政府投入1亿美元
宾夕法尼亚州州长 Josh Shapiro 与州社区与经济发展厅（DCED）于2026年11月13日宣布，制药企业礼来公司（Eli Lilly）投资35亿美元的新药厂已在利哈伊县 Fogelsville 动工，这是宾夕法尼亚州历史上规模最大的生命科学投资，也是礼来在该州的第一座工厂。
新厂位于 Fogelsville 的 8810 Main Street，将主要生产注射类药物与给药器械，重点布局下一代肥胖治疗药物。礼来首席执行官 David A. Ricks 在活动中提到公司在研的肥胖治疗候选药物 retatrutide。项目预计创造850个永久岗位与约2,000个建筑岗位。
州政府的支持合计1亿美元，包括最高5,000万美元的 PA Edge 税收抵免、2,500万美元的 PA SITES 场地准备资金与2,500万美元的 Pennsylvania First 拨款；州里还将通过再开发援助资本计划提供最高500万美元，支持 Lehigh Carbon Community College 建设配套人才培训通道。
DCED 厅长 Rick Siger 表示，项目雨水许可在47天内批出，比预计快近60%，得益于州许可快速通道机制。Lehigh Valley 经济发展公司主席 Don Cunningham 称，这是 Lehigh Valley 地区历史上最大的经济发展项目。
据 DCED 数据，宾夕法尼亚州生命科学领域约有3,900家企业、11万多名从业者，直接经济贡献约730亿美元。州政府近年来把生命科学列为重点招商产业，礼来项目被视为这一战略的标志性成果。
Lilly Breaks Ground on $3.5 Billion Plant in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania’s Largest-Ever Life Sciences Investment
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) announced on November 13, 2026, that Eli Lilly and Company has broken ground on a $3.5 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Fogelsville, Lehigh County, the largest life sciences investment in Pennsylvania history and Lilly's first plant in the state.
The facility, at 8810 Main Street in Fogelsville, will primarily produce injectable medicines and devices, with a focus on next-generation obesity treatments. Lilly CEO David A. Ricks pointed to the company's obesity drug candidate retatrutide at the event. The project is expected to create 850 permanent jobs and about 2,000 construction jobs.
State support totals $100 million: up to $50 million in PA Edge tax credits, $25 million through PA SITES and $25 million through Pennsylvania First. The state will also provide up to $5 million in redevelopment capital funding to help Lehigh Carbon Community College build a workforce training pipeline for the plant.
DCED Secretary Rick Siger said the project's stormwater permit was approved in 47 days, nearly 60 percent faster than expected, under the state's Permit Fast Track program. Don Cunningham, president of the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation, called it the largest economic development project in Lehigh Valley history.
According to DCED, Pennsylvania's life sciences sector includes about 3,900 companies employing more than 110,000 people, with a direct economic contribution of about $73 billion. The Shapiro administration has made life sciences a priority for business recruitment, and the Lilly plant is its signature win so far.
