Joliet’s Failed Lion Electric, Empty Caterpillar Plant Gaining 2,500 New Jobs – Patch Joliet

As part of a comprehensive incentive package, which includes an EDGE agreement with the State, Hyundai Translead has committed to investing $452.5 million and creating at least 2,475 new full-time jobs. In addition to state incentives, the company is also working with Will County taxing bodies to secure local incentives.

That’s a timely distraction from the fact that many residents showed up in miserable weather to voice their opposition to the data center being forced upon them in a meeting that ran so long ( and solved nothing ) that the Joliet mayor nodded off. It’s kind of fitting, really, because the powers that be have already made their minds up and might as well take a snooze while the residents complain because the city is shoving more and more shady CHI policies in the shady CHI fashion every day.

Insanity, thy name is Hyundai. When the generous incentives paid with confiscated taxpayer funds run out, so will Hyundai.
