KIA News

Joe Mazzone of Ace Aerial Photo, LLC, loves to fly and take photographs. Today he sent us his latest photo of the KIA Motors Manufacturing Georgia, scheduled to open later this year in West Point.

LaGrange Development Authority Executive Director Jane Fryer noted, "Kia has begun to move into the new facility and is vacating the space they have used at West Ga. Technical College for the past three years. There are nine tier one suppliers in Troup County and the region. They are all in various stages of construction with most nearing completion of the buildings. Equipment is being installed and hiring has begun for all suppliers and Kia. Test runs will be made during the third quarter with full production still scheduled for late 4th quarter of this year. "

Meanwhile, the "New York Times" featured KMMG and West Point in it's newspaper today: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/us/22kia.html?_r=1&hp
