The local authority has today (16 February) confirmed that it is partnering with Coventry Airport Ltd to develop plans for the facility, which will be located within the Airport’s estate. The two organisations expect to file an outline planning application later this year and have received an endorsement from the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), which comprises the region’s seven urban councils. The WMCA has officially named Coventry Airport as the preferred site for the region’s first Gigafactory.
