Plans for a $5 billion Rivian electric vehicle factory east of Atlanta are barreling forward after an incentive agreement cleared two key county votes, but an opposition group has raised concerns about the way one board approved it.
A lawyer for Morgan County Land, Sky & Water Preservation has sent a series of letters to the county's Board of Assessors attacking the legality of the Rivian deal and the board's action.
Last month, the Morgan (Georgia) County Board of Assessors approved a rental agreement that's a central piece of the $1.5 billion package of state and local incentives offered to Rivian to build an EV factory on about 2,000 acres along I-20 in southern Walton and Morgan counties. A Walton County board approved the deal weeks earlier.
