BOONE COUNTY, Ind. -- Eli Lilly & Company is upping its already substantial investment in the LEAP District in Boone County. The company announced Wednesday it's funneling $4.5 billion into a new medical facility on the site. It puts the total capital investment up to more than $13 billion. Lilly investing $4.5 billion for ‘first of its kind’ medicine foundry in Lebanon Construction on the first Lilly facilities to be announced in the LEAP District is already well underway. The cranes and buildings are within eyesight from Jim Love's farm off of U.S. 52 in Boone County. Love's family has farmed the land since the 1940s, but he's now holding onto his farm as tightly as he can as development closes in. ”We’d like to see some of this building confined to areas where we don't destroy farmland and we don’t destroy places where we grow food," Love said. Love is a member of the Boone County Preservation Group. It's a collection of neighbors around the LEAP District. Love said they're trying to preserve their way of life, as many of their neighbors have sold their homes. The LEAP District is intended to fill up this purchased land with manufacturers but so far, Lilly is the sole tenant. Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg said "another globally renowned company" is set to invest billions in the LEAP District. "It's a signed deal that's been approved by our board," Rosenberg said. "They're working through the land and local process, so we're hopeful in the next few months we're able to announce that." As the LEAP District grows, the concern from critics is the water access in the area. FOX59/CBS4 has reported in the past on the need for the state to pipe water in from outside of the county to support factories in the LEAP District. Rosenberg said Lebanon Utilities has agreed with Citizens Energy Group for CEG to supply 25 million gallons per day to Lebanon to support LEAP. ”That will supply the entire pipeline of business development projects from the IEDC and that will continue to allow Lebanon and Boone County's continual growth in the area," Rosenberg said. The Citizens Action Coalition has concerns with where that water is coming from. "It appears like this proposal is diverting water that is being used to serve Indianapolis and our water needs to go to Lebanon to serve prospective manufacturing facilities that are being located in a water desert," said Ben Inskeep, the program director for the CAC. FOX59/CBS4 reached out to Citizen's Energy Group. A spokesperson said Citizens Water has a robust, regional water supply system and it would not tap water from other utilities to sell to Lebanon Utilities. Lebanon Utilities would be a wholesale customer of Citizens Water like other communities in the area. As for a potential pipeline to get the water to Boone County, the spokesperson said Citizens Water already serves Boone County so a "long-haul" pipeline would not be needed. Inskeep said the CAC also has concerns with how this water will be paid for. ”The Indiana Drinking Water State Revolving Fund is supposed to provide low-cost financing to infrastructure projects that help improve our drinking water quality," Inskeep said. "So, it's supposed to help people in Indiana get access to clean drinking water to help reduce pollutants in our water." Inskeep said the CAC isn't sure this money is supposed to be used as an economic development tool. The CAC wants more information on the agreement and plan. ”Citizens needs to come forward and present this proposal in detail to the citizens of Indianapolis and so we can fully evaluate it," Inskeep said. When asked about how the water was being paid for, Rosenberg referred reporters to the entities involved. ”This is a private agreement between Citizens Energy Group and Lebanon Utilities, with the support of the Indiana Finance Authority, so I would direct questions to those parties on the agreement itself," he said. Rosenberg said the water supplied by Citizens Water is enough to support the current investments in the LEAP District - but future tenants could require more water. IEDC seeks to purchase 2,500 more acres in Boone County for LEAP project Gov. Eric Holcomb said they're waiting on an Indiana Finance Authority water study that will be released in December. It will detail the supply and projected future demand for water in the entire region. The information will help create a statewide water strategy, influencing what will happen with the water needs at the LEAP District. ”When we rolled this out initially, we had some possibilities that would consume much larger quantities of water," Holcomb said. "We have said we would not move on that unless we have proven the inventory, the water inventory, is available for such a big project. None to date has approached that need." Meanwhile, Love said he’ll continue to hang onto his land, as development gets closer and closer.  ”They will continue to push on people like us until they find some hook or crook to finally get us out," Love said.
