KORE Power Inc. says it will build a 1-million-sq-ft lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility on a 214-acre site in Buckeye, Ariz.—40 miles west of downtown Phoenix and just south of Interstate 10.

Fiat Chrysler said May 21 that construction will begin immediately on a new, $1.6 billion assembly plant for Jeep Grand Cherokees, a new Jeep SUV and hybrid cars on Detroit's east side.

Construction is underway at Shell Chemicals’ new $6 billion ethane cracker plant in central Pennsylvania.

AREVA Nuclear Materials signed a contract on July 11 with NorthStar Group Services to help decommission the defunct Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. 

Without help from the state or federal governments, the money-losing Three Mile Island will join a growing list of nuclear plants slated for closure since 2013.

Officials celebrated the start of construction on Shell Chemical LP's new $717 million linear alpha olefins manufacturing plant in Geismar on Feb. 16.
