One More Time...

Georgia officials say they have again been told that German automaker DaimlerChrysler will not build a van assembly plant in Pooler, near Savannah.

DaimlerChrysler told officials that the company "is not interested in our site at this time," said Loretta Lepore, marketing director for the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
For the past several months, DaimlerChrysler has been talking with state officials about building a scaled-down version of the plant in Pooler, west of Savannah.

DaimlerChrysler's latest proposal would have brought 600 to 700 jobs and an investment of $70 million to $100 million, a person familiar with the talks told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. When the plant was first announced in 2002, state officials promised more than 3,300 jobs and an investment of $754 million.

Let's keep in mind the US 6th District Court ruling on Ohio's incentive programs.
