FBI Probes 3D-Printed Housing Project in Cairo, Illinois Amid Financial Disputes
The FBI is investigating a stalled 3D-printed housing project in Cairo, Illinois, led by Prestige Project Management Inc. The project aimed to revitalize the economically distressed town by building 30 duplexes using 3D printing technology. However, the initiative has faced significant setbacks, including an unfinished structure, financial disputes, and an unresolved financing plan. The company, founded by Jamie Hayes and Erik Burtis, has been accused of misrepresenting its plans, leading to an FBI investigation. Despite initial hopes, the project remains incomplete, with ongoing legal and financial challenges.
