A year has passed since Hyundai Motor Group broke ground on the $7.6 billion vehicle and battery plant, the South Korean automaker's first U.S. factory dedicated to producing EVs.
The plant is being built parallel to Interstate 16 on a site that covers more than 2,900 acres (1,170 hectares).
Tollison said suppliers opening shop in nine Georgia counties near the Hyundai plant will create another 6,000 jobs.
It’s the largest economic development project in Georgia’s history.
Pat Wilson, Georgia’s economic development commissioner, has said Hyundai is projected to have a direct payroll of $4.7 billion over the next 10 years.
