The Hall County Board of Commissioners has approved a rezoning needed for the estimated $100 million expansion of Kubota Manufacturing of America into the Gateway Industrial Centre off Ga. 365 in North Hall. Kubota has promised to create about 650 jobs at its new manufacturing facility, but it took scrapping some standards and conditions governing property development at the industrial park to get the deal done. And Kubota’s move will potentially increase costs, or at least offset any proceeds generated from the land sale, for the county as it continues to build out infrastructure along the Gateway corridor with taxpayer money.
