Arizona beat out 12 other states competing for the location of a proposed $700 million electric car manufacturing plant.
In late November, Gov. Doug Ducey announced that Lucid Motors, a Silicon Valley luxury electric car startup, plans to build its manufacturing center on 500-acres in Casa Grande next year.
Lucid Motors, formally Atieva, narrowed down on Casa Grande after looking at 60 potential sites in 13 states, Brian Barron, director of Global Manufacturing at Lucid Motors, explained at the announcement for the facility.
