A handful of residents went before the Queen Creek Town Council Wednesday night to question why they had received no notification that a South Korean company plans to build a multibillion-dollar electric vehicle battery manufacturing facility in the town.
One speaker accused the council of trying to “Californize” Arizona by bringing such types of businesses to the area. Another expressed concern about the plant being close to residential areas and what that could do to home values.
Andrea Gillispie said she had no idea the plant was coming to the town until she read a newspaper article about it.
