GreenTech Automotive on Friday accused the Mississippi Development Authority of failing to deliver on "required tax incentives" as part of an unraveling economic development deal that has led the state auditor to demand repayment of $6.4 million from the embattled electric car venture.

GreenTech, founded by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in collaboration with Chinese partners and investors, released a statement Friday defending its efforts to create jobs at its Tunica County facility. The company said it is "in communication" with multiple Mississippi agencies about the 2011 deal that required the company to create 350 jobs and invest $60 million in exchange for a $3 million state loan and a $2 million grant to buy land.

"The parties have discussed not only GreenTech's job creation goals, but also the state MDA’s performance obligations under the [memorandum of understanding,] including the failure of the MDA to provide certain required tax incentives," the company said in a statement circulated by Chief Financial Officer Peter Huddleston.

The development authority did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
