Overview
- Rivian is investing $120 million in a 1.2 million-square-foot supplier park adjacent to its Normal, Illinois plant, with construction already underway and completion targeted for 2026.
- The state of Illinois is supporting the project with $16 million in incentives, including $5 million in tax credits through the REV Illinois program over 20 years.
- The supplier park is expected to create at least 93 full-time jobs initially, with potential for hundreds more as suppliers relocate to the facility.
- An underground tunnel will connect the supplier park to Rivian's main plant, reducing logistics costs and traffic while improving production efficiency.
- The facility will support Rivian's production ramp-up to 215,000 vehicles annually by 2026, including the launch of its more affordable R2 model.
