Nikola breaks ground on Coolidge plant
by Rofida Khairalla | Coolidge Examiner
Nikola Motor Company-branded shovels dug down into the ground and dirt flew into the air, marking the beginning of a very big step for development in Coolidge.
The publicly traded hydrogen electric vehicle manufacturer Nikola Corporation broke ground on the land that will one day be the home of a 1-million-square-foot manufacturing plant at Houser and Vail roads in southern Coolidge.
The day when the manufacturing facility will be ready to roll out its fuel cell-powered semi-trucks could come as soon as 12 months from now, Executive Chairman and founder of Nikola Trevor Milton said.
