IMPD investigating two train, car collisions less than 24 hours apart
Indianapolis police are investigating separate car and train collisions that occurred less than 24 hours apart over the weekend on the city's northeast and east sides. No deaths have been reported. A vehicle and a CSX train collided at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and North Sherman Drive around 2:37 p.m. on April 26, a CSX spokesperson said. Indianapolis Metropolitan police officers responded to a report of serious bodily harm and found a red Jeep SUV at the scene, according to WTHR reporting. CSX said no injuries were reported at the scene. It's unclear how many people were in the vehicle at the time of the crash. A CSX spokesperson did not answer IndyStar questions on if the railroad crossing is protected by a stop-arm and light. Three miles southwest, just before 6 a.m. April 27, police responded to another report of a vehicle and train collision near East Michigan Street and North Pine Street just east of I-65/I-70. FOX59 and CBS 4 crews reported seeing a red Toyota Camry on the train tracks that looked to be hit from behind. It's unclear if anyone was in the car at the time of the collision. IndyStar reporter Ryan Murphy contributed to this report. Alysa Guffey covers business and development for IndyStar.

Eli Lilly will build 4 new manufacturing sites to increase domestic drug production
Eli Lilly and Co. Wednesday announced plans to build four pharmaceutical manufacturing sites in the United States, significantly boosting domestic medicine production and adding around 13,000 manufacturing and construction jobs. Lilly will invest $27 billion in the four plants, the Indianapolis drugmaker announced at a press conference in Washington D.C. Wednesday. The company is in negotiations with several states and plans to announce the four locations later this year. It's not clear if Indiana is under consideration for sites. The company said the facilities will make medicine for patients within five years. Three of the sites will manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients that the company says will strengthen the company's supply chain. The fourth will expand Lilly's global manufacturing network for injectable therapies. Lilly expects to create 3,000 highly skilled manufacturing jobs for engineers, scientists, operations personnel and lab technicians along with another 10,000 construction jobs during development of the sites. Wednesday's expansion doubles the amount of money Lilly has invested since 2020, bringing the total to a whopping $50 billion. Previously announced projects included new facilities at the LEAP Innovation District and the Lilly Medicine Foundry in Lebanon and expansions to existing facilities in Indianapolis alongside new sites in North Carolina and Wisconsin. "Lilly's optimism about the potential of our pipeline across therapeutic areas — cardiometabolic health, oncology, immunology and neuroscience — drives our unprecedented commitment to our domestic manufacturing build-out. Our confidence positions us to help reinvigorate domestic manufacturing, which will benefit hard-working American families and increase exports of medicines made in the U.S.A.," said Lilly chair and CEO David A. Ricks in a statement. More: Eli Lilly plans $4.5 billion facility in LEAP District, bringing investment to $13 billion For the past few years, Lilly has made news by driving large-scale investments in the LEAP Innovation District, billed as a future manufacturing and tech mecca in Lebanon, Indiana. Lilly has said the company expects to increase production for its blockbuster weight loss and diabetes drugs at the 9,000 acre-district along the I-65 corridor in Boone County that's managed by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation Alysa Guffey covers business and development for IndyStar.

After more than a decade, InterContinental opens downtown. See inside the luxury hotel
Step inside the first floor of the new InterContinental hotel in Indianapolis, and you're in the building's original lobby where golden accents transport guests back in time to the roaring 1920s when the Illinois Building first opened. But when you head up to the second-floor main lobby, you'll find a modern hotel housed in the historic Indianapolis building once at risk for demolition. Indianapolis-based developer Keystone Group bought the Illinois Building at the corner of Illinois and Market Streets in 2013, investing $110 million and promising to rejuvenate the languishing site. Now, 12 years later, the nearly century-old building opened to the public once again Monday as the first new luxury hotel in Indianapolis in nearly two decades. Keystone added an eleventh floor, which now serves as home to a penthouse suite with views of Monument Circle and a rooftop restaurant and bar. The hotel includes 170 guest rooms, some of which look out to the building's atrium, two restaurants and 5,000-square feet of event space for weddings, board meetings or other private events. The entire hotel pays homage to the city's creatives, with works by Indianapolis artists commissioned for the hotel in the lobby, hallways and guest rooms. Mini fridges stock snacks and drinks from local brands such as Just Pop In! and the South Bend Chocolate Company.
