Eli Lilly is building four new manufacturing sites, the drug company announced Wednesday, and though the $27 billion price tag is hefty, that’s not the notable piece of the announcement. Perhaps the more interesting part is that the sites are being located in the U.

Eli Lilly & Co.’s stock rose 1.6% Wednesday, after the drug company announced plans to expand its U.S. manufacturing sites by adding four more locations this year, along with 13,000 high-wage jobs.

Eli Lilly and Co. is in negotiations with several states and plans to announce the locations of four new manufacturing plants later this year.
