Toyota is expanding its plant in Putnam County. The company will spend over seventy-million-dollars at Toyota West Virginia in Buffalo on a hybrid transaxle production line that is set to start in 2024.
Meanwhile, Toyota says production has slowed at the plant because of the ongoing Ambassador Bridge blockade at the Canadian border. The company doesn’t expect jobs at the plant to be impacted. Truckers are protesting at the bridge that connects Detroit to Windsor, Ontario. They’re upset with COVID vaccine mandates in Canada.
