Details of the plan are still being worked out, and the official announcement is likely to occur during President Joe Biden’s trip to South Korea next week. According to Manufacturing.net, the factory will be built on a 2,200-acre state-owned site near Ellabell, 25 miles inland from Savannah; it will roll out both electric and gasoline-powered vehicles and could need up to 8,500 employees. manufacturing.net
