Nebraska 'in the running' for Toyota plant
28 Aug 2017
Nebraska, Iowa and as many as a dozen other states are going after a $1.6 billion, 4,000-employee, 1,000-acre auto assembly plant planned by Toyota and Mazda for the United States.
"I think we're definitely in the running," David Brown, chief executive of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, said Thursday. "They haven't come out and ranked anybody yet, but we have done enough that we are in the running for this."
Nebraska was not on the "short list" of states vying for the factory, according to a Wall Street Journal story earlier this month, citing unidentified people "familiar with the matter."
