A new study by Dr. Greg George, Director of MGA's Center for Economic Analysis (CEA), examines the regional impact of Audi's proposed $4 billion manufacturing facility in Peach County. The project could become one of Middle Georgia's primary economic drivers over the next decade.
Under the central scenario, the facility would support approximately 9,000 jobs annually—4,500 direct manufacturing positions and 4,500 secondary jobs driven by suppliers and local spending. Once fully operational, the site is projected to generate $8.54 billion in annual economic output and $486 million in regional wages.
While Peach County serves as the primary site, economic benefits will extend across the 11-county region, particularly in Houston and Macon-Bibb counties. Capitalizing on this growth will depend on local workforce availability, housing capacity, transportation infrastructure, and supplier network development.
