Toyota eyes Michigan, Kentucky for California Exodus

Michigan, to be kind, took an enormous hit during this so-called Great Recession. In fact, things were not all that great in the state prior to the downturn. Officials have been doing everything, including begging, to get companies to locate into the state.
Well, it seems that Toyota has been listening.
According to the Detroit News, Toyota is considering moving employees out of California to either Michigan or Kentucky. The automaker is considering moving because the company has its North American engineering and assembly units there. It doesn’t hurt that either location is less expensive as Toyota works to weather the recession while the company makes some operational cuts and performs some reorganization.
