Fresno Hopes for Prius Plant
Fresno, California, Mayor Alan Autry says he’s
optimistic about the city’s chance of landing
a Toyota plant and nearly 2,000 new jobs with
it.
The Prius is a gas-electric hybrid that has gained
popularity, especially after the rise in gas prices.
Autry says he and Senator Dianne Feinstein were
to meet with Toyota officials in Washington, D.C.
“Until now, the Prius has been built only
in Japan. But, with demand rising, there are talks
about building another plant in the United States.”
Right now, customers are waiting an average of
six months for the car.
