How Middle Ga.'s upcoming Audi plant in Peach County will impact Macon's economy
Macon-Bibb County invested $7 million to develop the Middle Georgia megasite where Audi AG plans to build a $4.2 billion plant that will employ 4,500 people. In return, the county is set to receive roughly $56 million in payments from the company, which are to begin in 2028 and span 20 years, according to the economic development agreement. The total economic footprint from the plant’s construction and operation could reach $49.3 billion by 2035, and annually the plant could generate $8.54 billion from production, according to a report from Middle Georgia State University’s Center for Economic Analysis. As is, the plant — which will be located on Peach County land that’s 25 miles from Macon — could become one of Middle Georgia’s biggest employers. A potential second phase of the project could bring in another 3,000 jobs and another $3 billion in investment, according to the agreement with Audi. The Middle Georgia State report also noted an additional 4,500 jobs could be generated on top of the initial 4,500 promised from the plant’s opening. Jobs in supply chain logistics, warehousing and transportation will crop up to ensure the production of Audi’s premium SUVs, said Greg George, director of MGA’s Center
