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.

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
