The Rivian factory expansion will include a 1.14 million square foot building, alongside an additional 208,000-square-foot facility, constructed near the current plant's southeast corner.
The expansion approval allows Rivian to exceed the previous zoning height limit of 45 feet, enabling the construction of a 64-foot conveyor system.
With the approval of the factory expansion, Rivian shifts its plans to produce the R2 EV platform in Normal, Illinois, instead of Georgia to expedite production.
Rivian received an $827 million incentive package from the state of Illinois to support its expansion, coinciding with a recent $5 billion investment from Volkswagen.
