I know that Toyota was looking outside of San Angelo for some "industrial sites." Working with my employer to locate old oil well bores... so it must be more than talk.
I read in the paper today that the mtg between a group of our city officials and Toyota has been cancelled. That was to be held in Japan next week. They didn't say why it was cancelled....just commented that they would still make the trip as they have a business mtg planned with another group in Japan regarding other business.
Hum I can't say to much, BUT I KNOW that the Toyota deal is DEFINATELY still going on here in SA. There is a LOT of stuff going on behind the scenes thats not in the papers. Nothing guranteed but at least we still stand a chance of getting it here.

Yep.....It was headline news here in SA today. Personally, I won't buy into any of this hype. It ain't gospel until Toyota comes out publicly and makes an official announcement regarding any future commitment to launching a new plant at a specific location in the U.S.

Report: Toyota Plans Texas Plant
The Associated Press, Fri 1 Nov 2002
TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese business newspaper reported Friday that Toyota Motor Corp. has chosen San Antonio for the site of its next North American plant, but the company denied a decision had been made.
The top Japanese automaker is considering another plant in North America to expand its highly profitable business in the region.
``We are looking into it from various angles while keeping in mind market changes, but nothing has been decided,'' the company said in a statement.
Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun reported that Toyota will build pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in San Antonio as early as 2005, producing 100,000 vehicles a year. The company will announce the plant next month at an event in the city, the paper said.
San Antonio officials said last month that Toyota has scouted the city as a possible location for a new plant.
Toyota has car assembly plants in Kentucky, Indiana, California and Canada and has broken ground on another plant in Mexico, which will start producing pickup trucks in 2005.
Toyota has said it will build another auto plant after North American sales hit 2 million cars a year. The car maker sold 1.9 million new cars in North America last year. Toyota has been reporting booming profits, largely on growing sales in North America.
