In what could be a huge boost to West Georgia, Kia automotive is looking to build a 1.2 billion dollar automotive manufacturing facility, with 2,500 jobs to go with it. They are closely looking at West Point, Georgia due to its proximity to Atlanta and Montgomery and other automotive suppliers in the area.
“It’s a perfect location, and I’ve wondered for several years why somebody didn’t come in here and tap us as they’ve done down in Opelika and Auburn and places like that. Maybe this is our break,” said John Tidwell, a West Point resident.
West Point is right on I-85 at the state line. It’s also in the middle of Atlanta and Montgomery where Kia’s parent company, Hyundai, has a plant. Opelika mayor Gary Fuller said if the company chooses West Point, East Alabama will also reap the rewards. via WTVM.

We think this would be the perfect place to start a plant so that the unemployed will have a chance at trying to start a life. Opening this plant could be a chance for us as well. Please let us know where we can apply for employment. Thank You!!!
