Electric vehicle startup Rivian announced Dec. 19 it has chosen the construction firm to build its planned $5 billion factory an hour east of Atlanta.
Chicago-based Clayco will construct the 16 million-square-foot factory on an 1,800-acre megasite in southern Morgan and Walton counties, according to a release. The plant, which ranks among Georgia’s largest economic development projects, is expected to employ 7,500 workers when EVs begin rolling off production lines in 2026.
