Toyota announced a $1 billion investment across its Kentucky and Indiana operations in a March 23 statement.
The Japanese automaker announced the investment as it celebrated its 40th anniversary of the Kentucky plant, which is also Toyota’s largest manufacturing plant in the world, assembling about 550,000 vehicles and 600,000 engines a year, and employing close to 10,000 full-timers.
