It really is - especially having an idle auto manufacturing plant here. There’s not much else you can do with those, so seeing it put to use is great, rather than just collecting dust.

Isn’t Peoria today more or less a Caterpillar company town? Seems like Rivian getting big would be amazing for the city

It was. except the new CEO of Cat moved the headquarters to Chicago.

But to be clear, this is about 40 minutes east of Peoria.
