Audi May Expand US Georgia Plant by $3 Billion
Audi may increase the size of its new US auto plant by $3 billion and add 3,000 jobs. The $4 billion Macon, Georgia assembly plant is already under way and aims to build 200,000 SUVs a year, with about 4,500 jobs projected. Backed by generous state incentives and a request for US tariff relief.
