This case study offers valuable lessons for economic developers, site selectors, and policymakers worldwide. The story of Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America’s (HMGMA) decision to locate in Savannah, Georgia, illustrates how large-scale manufacturing site selection depends on local and state stakeholders working together to overcome challenges and coordinate across multiple institutions.
