More than $16-million in grant money is headed for boosting economic development around the state.
The money comes from the OneGeorgia Authority, which uses tobacco settlement money to help rural counties and towns attract new companies. The money also helps expand existing business and boost public infrastructure.
Of the several counties getting money, four are for economic projects connected to the new KIA plant—about $7-million combined.
The Governor’s office says the grant money awarded to all projects statewide will lead to the creation of more than 2,000 jobs combined over three years.
