Georgia: Leading in EV Manufacturing

The State of Georgia has made a deliberate move to become a major manufacturing hub for the Electric Vehicle Automotive Industry. If a business has a connection to the EV industry, they are finding a way to play a part in the Georgia Economy.

Since 2020, the Georgia Department of Economic Development has made a concerted effort to bring EV manufacturing and supporting jobs to Georgia. According to a recent article in “Georgia Trend Magazine” all-in the effort will produce “close to 18,000 jobs.”

The Electric Vehicle Industry revolves around focusing on renewable energy, energy conversion, turning cow manure into hydrogen powered electricity, re-use products and recycled products. The residual business from these evolving industries will have a long lasting impact for Georgia Economic Development moving forward.

In addition, the Georgia Port Authority has ramped up import capabilities to support needed raw material deliveries to sustain this and many other industries. A key component of which will be lithium-ion. Along with that, the GPA will also receive much needed components such as anodes and cathodes. In Bryan County, just outside Savannah, 750 Acres are currently under development for transportation logistical improvements. These actions are making preparation for future growth among the EV and other rising markets. Needless to say, Georgia is on the move with major growth in manufacturing.

Team ATCO is actively participating in projects that help push these projects forward. We have completed one project in Americus, Sumter County Georgia. Where we provided the RCP storm drainage pipe and the Fusible HDPE Pipe for Methane Conversion facility. In Savannah Georgia, we have furnished Slot Drainage Pipe, by DuraTrench, for storm water conveyance on the Georgia Port Authority, CB-1 Project.

We have many Georgia projects in various stages of development. That also helps promote sustainability and directly help improve the Electric Vehicle developing economy in Georgia.

Governor Kemp and his Economic Development teams spread across the State have put Georgia in a strong position to win for many years to come.
