Rivian is receiving $16 million in state incentives to help construct a new 1.2 million-square foot supplier park near its EV manufacturing plant in Normal, Illinois, according to Illinois Governer JB Pritzker<\/a> and Rivian<\/a>, who both made official announcements today. As part of the deal, Rivian will invest nearly $120 million towards the project, which is expected to directly create about 100 new jobs. In a press release, Pritzker says Rivian\u2019s investment in the new facility will create \u201can entire ecosystem\u201d that will help attract global investment\u00a0 and create jobs, as well as \u201cstrengthening the EV manufacturing supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivian says<\/a> the supplier park is already under construction and is scheduled to be completed in 2026. It will feature an underground tunnel that connects it with the main plant so parts can easily be transferred without increasing traffic in the area. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe says the park will be a \u201ckey enabler\u201d in the production of its upcoming R2 vehicle. Scaringe today shared an image<\/a> of the new Maximus drive unit on Instagram that will be used in the two-row electric SUV, which is slated for next year.<\/p>\n
