Artist's impressions of proposed gigafactory, as part of story within BBC local news stream, with implication that West Midlands Mayor supports the project (Coventry lies within the WM Combined Authority area, but I didn't think that the airport itself does) :

"Artist's impressions released of gigafactory plan
Artist's impressions have been released of plans for a gigafactory on the site of Coventry Airport.
Plans were submitted earlier this year
for the plant which, if approved, will become the UK’s largest single industrial facility, covering the same area as 74 full-size football pitches
Gigafactories are built to create electric car batteries.
..
Securing the factory could create thousands of jobs and attract up to £2bn of investment to the region, the city council has said.
Andy Street, West Midlands Mayor, said: “From securing the future of our region’s automotive industry and the huge economic and job creation that would bring, to helping protect our planet from the climate change emergency, a West Midlands Gigafactory would be a complete game-changer for our region – and we are making it happen.
“By submitting our planning application earlier this year, and now answering the difficult question around power supply and renewable energy, we are doing what we can to be able to get the site operational ASAP once a commercial negotiation between supplier and customer concludes." "
