Photographer Justin Taylor periodically flies a drone over north Bryan County so we can all get a fresh look at the flurry of construction around the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America. His most recent effort was Jan. 9, 2025. The plant on 3,000 acres will employ around 8,500 people and is set to build electric vehicles. Hyundai will partner with LG to build batteries there for the cars.
