TSX runs higher on rate cut expectations
Investing.com -- Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) plans to resume preparation work on its Georgia factory in August, with groundbreaking expected in early 2026, according to TechCrunch, citing emails obtained through a public records request.
The company will begin installing "deep utilities" next month, with vertical construction scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2026.
Rivian has already invested more than $80 million in the project as of June 20, 2025, doubling its investment from $41 million in July 2024, according to a progress report submitted to the local joint development authority.
Rivian is also contacting existing suppliers to gauge interest in establishing facilities near the Georgia factory. Additionally, the company has requested information from the state’s economic development department about regional suppliers that could potentially contribute to manufacturing the R2 SUV and R3 hatchback models when the factory opens in 2028.
