Justice | J000312 | www.justice.senate.gov | justice | https://www.justice.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement celebrating Toyota’s investment announcement in Buffalo, West Virginia: “I’ve said time and time again that West Virginia is a diamond in the rough – it’s great to see companies like Toyota start to catch on. This investment in our state to the tune of $453 million will stimulate our economy, bring about new jobs, and is another shining example of what can be done when you mind the store and get the economics right. I was optimistic when I heard this news in our meeting earlier this year, and I’m excited to see Toyota’s words become a reality in our state. Keep it going, West Virginia!” said Senator Jim Justice. BACKGROUND: Toyota’s investment in its manufacturing plant in Buffalo, West Virginia, builds upon its $3.3 billion overall investment in West Virginia. 80 new jobs will be created to increase production of four-cylinder hybrid-compatible engines, sixth-generation hybrid transaxles, and rear motor stators. Earlier this year, Toyota announced an $88 million investment to boost hybrid vehicle output in West Virginia. In 2021, while Governor, Senator Justice worked with Toyota to bring 100 new jobs and a $210 million investment to the West Virginia Plant. At the end of 2021, Toyota announced an additional investment in West Virginia following the success from earlier in the year. President Trump signed an Executive Order calling for companies to bring manufacturing back to the United States. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
