Rivian is getting $827 million in incentives from the state of Illinois to support building its next-generation electric vehicle, known as the R2.

The company announced Thursday that the State of Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will dole out the funds to help expand its existing factory in Normal, IL, as well as build out supporting infrastructure and boost job training programs for Rivian’s workforce. Updates to the factory will begin “in the coming months.”
