Dive Brief:
The Toyota Motor Corp. submitted an application on Friday to expand its San Antonio manufacturing campus by building a new $2 billion facility, according to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
The pending plans, dubbed Project Orca, would implement a new complete vehicle assembly line and create 2,000 jobs with an average salary of more than $88,000 per year.
If approved, construction would begin in 2026 and continue over four years, initially costing Toyota $682.5 million. The facility would open in 2028, starting with 320 employees, and would become operational in 2030.
