Let’s be honest. Southern state probably lured them in with a nice package.

Toyota has been moving ops to states with lower cost of living for awhile now. Toyota corp in USA shifted ops from CA to TX a decade back. Many workers hate or regret the move. C-level executives are excited because they pay less in state taxes. Probably even got a nice deal on the land.

Toyota broke ground in San Antonio more than two decades ago, in 2003, not one. Georgetown KY has been around since 1986 and Princeton IN since 1996. Toyota has been investing in “low cost of living” states for a very long time.
