This week's SiteNet Dispatch looks at Hyundai's newly unveiled plans for a US$270-million expansion in Alabama - a project that may also affect location decisions for suppliers to the Kia plant that's being built in Georgia. In addition, this Project Watch installment profiles Pactiv's expansion in upstate New York and Smiths Aerospace's upward growth arc in western North Carolina.
