Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian on Monday said it will receive $1.5 billion in state and local credits to build its $5 billion production facility in Georgia.
Opponents to EV manufacturer Rivian's planned facility in Morgan County, Georgia, showed up in force to a state meeting earlier this week to express their opposition to the project.
Residents near the site where the EV manufacturer plans to build a $5 billion manufacturing facility have hired an environmental attorney to look into possible legal challenges.
Senators in Georgia have filed legislation that would allow EV startup Rivian to sell its vehicles directly to consumers without having to go through a dealership.
