I live near this plant! This whole thing has been nothing but chaos, for a hundred miles around! Sky rocketing land prices! Home building is insane! Local companies alway wondering is they can keep their employees. Just a big mess! And it ruined I don’t know how many thousand acres of land! What once was a vast forest! Now looks like Walmart, parking lot!sickening!
There have been multiple worker fatalities at Hyundai construction sites in Georgia, with two workers dying at the Hyundai Metaplant complex in May 2025, and one death in April 2023. The first fatality in April 2023 occurred when a worker fell 60 feet after their fall arrest lanyard failed.
The two more recent deaths in May 2025 were due to a forklift incident and a fall from a structure, respectively. WJCL reports these incidents are under investigation by OSHA.

May 2025 Incidents
First fatality:
On May 21, 2025, a construction worker, identified as 27-year-old Allen Kowalski, was killed when a load fell off a forklift. The load shifted due to water on top of its plastic covering as the forklift operator unloaded it.

Same here in Naples Fl, everything that developers have built turns into sh…it, someone has to stop the developers and then the foreigners creating “jobs” for Americans which I don’t see anywhere.

You left out the part about workers dying right and left. Probably because they can’t read or communicate.
