ATLANTA – Today, Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) issued the following statement:
“We are proud to welcome Rivian to Georgia! With an investment of $5 billion and the creation of some 7,500 jobs, this announcement reminds the world that Georgia remains the best state in the nation for business.
“In the General Assembly, we will continue to prioritize policies which have made Georgia the envy of the nation – keeping taxes low, maintaining a business-friendly regulatory environment and prioritizing workforce development. The reason for this is simple – businesses create jobs and jobs mean opportunity.
“I want to thank Rivian as well as the state and local officials who worked together to make this announcement possible. Special thanks to the team at the Georgia Department of Economic Development who work every day to bring jobs home to Georgia.”
