Rome, Floyd County cement $1.2B Pirelli expansion deal

The Rome‑Floyd County Development Authority unanimously approved a $1.2 billion bond agreement with Pirelli Tuesday, bringing an end to three years of negotiations. Pirelli will dramatically expand its presence in Floyd County and add 1,000 new jobs. The original deal was announced in September; however, final negotiations continued up until Saturday night, according to the authority’s attorney, Andy Davis. “The team in Milan was making small changes to the deal up until the last second,” Davis said. “They had some issues we had to address.” While the development authority is issuing the bonds, Pirelli is solely responsible for paying them off. Plans are to add latest-generation robotics equipment and a traditional manufacturing process. Pirelli expects to begin the bulk of its hiring in 2029, with the facility projected to be at full operations in 2033. Davis spent time explaining the benefits of the deal and addressing concerns regarding the nature of the PILOT fees that Pirelli will be paying. He said there are some misconceptions that the company would not be paying taxes. “We estimate that they will pay over $100 million in taxes as part of this deal,” Davis said. “And they will be paying their taxes directly to

'We were all farmers' —Thomas Ewing, 96, remembers Snellville’s rural roots

Of the rolling fields and orchards of Thomas Ewing’s boyhood, memories remain. “I can go down the road and name you the farmers, from the church on down the road, and right up the road, the ones that was farming during that time,” Ewing says. “We were all farmers.” It was 1930. The previous year the stock market had crashed, and Americans were losing faith in their banks, in their president, in the possibilities of their country. In the midst of the tumult Ewing was born in a four-room farmhouse his grandfather built on Webb Gin House Road. Briefly, the family moved to Atlanta to try a different life. They were driven back by the worsening depression, and remained on the family farm another two and a half decades. Ewing himself would not stay even that long. He enlisted, and at 20 he left Gwinnett. Never again would he pick cotton, or plow a field. By the time he returned home to Snellville, 46 years later, everything had changed. A country crossroad had grown to a metro suburb. Ewing had traveled the world, and become director of his division. But for the son of a farmer raised in his father’s
