State subsidies based on : EDGR Tax Credit Agreement with Rivian Automotive, LLC, December 29, 2016: (click here). Ravian statement regarding city grant: (click here)
Notes: The subsidy package includes: $49,234,008 in state EDGE tax credits, paid over 15 years; $4 million in 5-year 100 percent property tax abatements from the city; local waiver of all permit and development fees; the city also agreed to provide services to the company such as landscaping, show removal, and security. Normal also agreed to provide the company with a $1 million cash grant, paid after the company invests $20 million. In April 2020, the company said that it will not be seeking the grant (thus we do not add this grant to the subsidy total). The city ordinance mentions that Economic Development Council of the Bloomington-Normal Area asked other taxing jurisdictions to offer tax abatements; however, no information on those awards was readily available. The state EDGE agreement blacked out the amount of company investment. Overlaps with main Subsidy Tracker data: none.
