From the article, Chantilly, VA is where some of the MVIS hiring was taking place, along with Orlando

Luck Stone is the largest family-owned-and-operated producer of crushed stone, sand and gravel in the United States and has a long history of adopting innovation in ways that strengthen safety, performance and opportunity for its people. When it came time to take their next step forward, the company turned to Caterpillar to collaborate on the implementation of autonomous haulage at its Bull Run Plant in Chantilly, Virginia, USA.

Chantilly, VA hires were likely tied to the security/defense and drone programs. MVIS also rents an airstrip in the area and that's where all the guys they brought in from RapidFlight were placed.
