More residents are voicing concerns about South Korean LG Energy Solution’s electric battery manufacturing plant that will be built on a 650-acre parcel of land in Queen Creek.
During the Queen Creek Town Council meeting on April 20, almost two dozen residents spoke in person or sent written comments to council members. It was a noticeable increase from the handful of people who spoke out against the plant during the council’s April 6 meeting.
On April 19, LG Energy Solution successfully bid more than $84.4 million for land in the northeast corner of Ironwood Drive and Germann Road, on which the South Korean-electronics maker plans to build a $2.8 billion electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility.
