This resolution designates February 11, 2026, as Kia Day at the state capitol to honor Kia Georgia's significant contributions to the state, including its assembly plant in West Point, Georgia, which has produced over 5 million vehicles since 2009 and invested more than $3.2 billion in the state, with a recent expansion for electric vehicle production. The resolution also commends Kia's commitment to the community through over $23 million in contributions to education, health, and environmental initiatives, its support for workforce development from K-12 to technical colleges and universities, its involvement in a veterans' technician apprenticeship program, and its role as a major employer, creating over 14,000 jobs. Kia Georgia currently manufactures five award-winning models, including gasoline, hybrid, and electric SUVs, on a single production line, reflecting its customer-centric approach to providing mobility solutions.
