Electric vehicle plant considering South Carolina
10:28am 7/3/09
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A South Korean company says South Carolina
is one of five states it is considering for an electric vehicle
manufacturing plant that will create 2,600 jobs over the next five
years.
CT&T Company Ltd. says it plans to decide by September among
sites in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and
California.
Curt Westlake, a spokesman for the company's U.S. branch, said
the sites will see full assembly of electric cars within 12 months.
Westlake said CT&T plans to build a North American headquarters,
a research and development center and several manufacturing
facilities, which could be spread among multiple states or
consolidated on one site.
He said CT&T would evaluate sites based on the presence of a
skilled work force, the transportation infrastructure and the
incentives offered.
