Stellantis is adding another automotive feather to Georgia’s cap with a more than $41 million investment in an auto parts distribution center planned for Forsyth, about 60 miles south of Atlanta.
The 422,000-square-foot facility will serve dealers and customers across the Southeast and support about 90 union jobs. Construction is set to start in 2026, with completion expected in 2027.
