The Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America ― Georgia’s largest economic project to date ― is on course to become the single most transformative influence on the Savannah region’s economy, workforce, public resources and way of life for the next half-century.
Though the plant’s physical address is in what has traditionally been rural Bryan County, the seismic impact of its $7.59 billion investment is rippling out across neighboring counties and spreading across the entire state.
The grand opening included a grand announcement. Hyundai Motor Company President and CEO José Muñoz shared that the automaker will also increase production from 300,000 to 500,000 units a year on the site.
