Kia, Hyundai, etc are doing great here in the south. I'll tell you,
they've got it figured out. What they do is buy land for a plant, and
buy land all around it for their suppliers. Next thing you know,
they've only got to put parts on a small railcar and move it to the
plant. If not, they are so close they only have to ship by truck a few
miles. Take Hyundai, they built a plant, then built an engine plant
next to it. Then Halla climate control builds a plant to supply them
with climate control systems. Then Heritage Plastics to make plastic
panels and such. Then Toyo Tire to supply them with tires.
