LaGrange firefighters soak up fun at Muscular Dystrophy camp $35 million Hyundai plant to produce parts for KMMG Matthew Strother News editor

A $35 million plant by Hyundai Dymos America expected to employ 300 people is planned at the Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia site, and local governments are set to start voting on it today. The plant is planned to be located near the city of West Point fire department off Kia Parkway. West Point Development Authority project manager Dave Lyons is set to present the plan to the Board of Education at 5:30 p.m. on the new plant. The Board of Education, County Commission and West Point City Council will need to sign of an agreement to allow the plant to be a payment-in-lieu- of-taxes project, meaning it will pay a set fee over a period of time instead of ad valorem property taxes.
