Site preparations nearly complete as Rivian
prepares for construction of next-generation manufacturing
plant
American all-electric automaker Rivian (Nasdaq: RIVN) today
announced the opening of its newest spaces location at Ponce City
Market, using the occasion to showcase progress on its future
Georgia manufacturing facility and upcoming milestones. The seventh
public-focused Rivian space since June 2023, part of a nationwide
rollout, visitors will have the opportunity to connect with the
Rivian brand, get up-close with its electric adventure vehicles,
and learn more about the company’s plans in the Peach State.
Rivian will build its next manufacturing facility—with an annual
capacity of 400,000 units when fully complete—at the Stanton
Springs North site about 40 minutes from Atlanta across Morgan and
Walton Counties. For the past several months, the State of Georgia
and Joint Development Authority of Jasper, Morgan, Newton &
Walton Counties have worked with state and local partners to
prepare the site for Rivian’s arrival. At this time, the upper pad
is 95 percent graded and is nearly ready for construction to begin.
Rivian expects to hold a formal groundbreaking ceremony in early
2024, with start of vertical construction to begin thereafter.
“We’re excited to welcome visitors to our latest Rivian space in
Atlanta,” said Rivian CEO and Founder RJ Scaringe. “This one is
particularly exciting as it is close to our future R2 manufacturing
campus. This space will serve as a valuable hub to connect with the
surrounding community.”
While the facility is under construction, Rivian’s space at
Ponce City Market will serve as the company’s most public presence
in the state, giving visitors a venue to learn more about Rivian
vehicles, take demo drives, and purchase unique merchandise. Rivian
builds its spaces to serve as hubs for community involvement,
hosting imaginative and entertaining regular programming, such as
gardening workshops or bicycle repair.
Rivian has opened an office in Covington, Georgia, a short drive
from its future factory, and continues to grow its local presence
with the addition of Tony Sanger, Vice President of
Facilities-Georgia, as well as support functions designed to ensure
a timely and innovative construction process.
Rivian will continue to share details on recruitment and
partnership opportunities in Georgia. Visit Rivian.com for the
