We've Lost Our Kia
The announcement Chattanooga has long awaited took place Sunday night. In West Point, Georgia.
South Korean automaker Kia announced that it will open a 1.2 billion plant in the town near the Alabama border, bringing nearly 5,500 jobs to people who we are in no way jealous of. We didn’t want that plant, anyway.
Well, yes we did: “We are disappointed but optimistic because of TVA’s projection that another four or five assembly plants will locate in the Southeast over the next five years or so,” Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce Vice President J.Ed Marston told the Times Free Press Sunday. “Manufacturing is the key for Enterprise South, and we believe we will be successful.”
Never let it be said that faith doesn’t mix with government.
