Just saw this piece on the Caddo IDB President's comments. I think this is one of the first public comments since Paul went to discuss the status with them.

The only part of that incredibly short article that's worth reading:

If Elio comes, it would only use part percent of the plant.

The rest is being marketed to other companies.

"The fact that Elio has not been able to get started has not prevented the plant from being marketed in its entirety as wells as in pieces," Wayt explained.

Wayt says Elio at one point agreed to build somewhere else if a company for the entire plant was found.​

Lichter wanted $200 million for Elio to move>

That was what it was going to cost to move the equipment.

 

[Elio Amazed]

$200 million to simply tear down, pack up, move and install equipment only valued at $22 million?
I have serious doubts about that one. But, like everything else, if you heard it on the internet, it must be true.

Interesting 5/22/17 article from The Shreveport Times, if you can get through the pop ups to read it.

" 5. While IRG is seeking a tenant(s) for the GM facility, it has elected to sub-lease a portion of the facility to a start-up auto manufacturing company called Elio Motors. Elio has struggled to raise sufficient funds to kick off manufacturing operations in Shreveport, and it remains to be seen if Elio will be successful. However, the principal owner of IRG is also a significant shareholder in Elio, and IRG appears to be holding a portion of the GM facility open for Elio in the hope that the company soon will be up and running. It is important to remember that IRG is paying for the right to decide whom it sub-leases to. If a better tenant for the GM facility were to surface, IRG could choose to relocate Elio to another facility, thus freeing up the entire GM facility for a large manufacturer. "
