As citizens await the Athens-Oconee Caterpillar plant, incumbent Rep. Paul Broun uses the economic development deal as a campaign talking point.
Caterpillar, which announced in February it will build a major manufacturing plant on the Athens-Oconee line, has seen a bump in stock value in the past couple of days as the overall market has risen.

Caterpillar's stock increase was attributed partly to China, which lowered its benchmark lending rate in an effort to bolster its economy, helping boost the Dow Jones by more than 300 points over two days.
