Honda says it will invest $200 million in its Ohio facilities and hire an additional 200 workers there. The announcement coincides with the company's 30 year anniversary of producing cars in the US, with a 1983
Accord rolling off the Marysville, Ohio production line on Nov. 1, 1982.
The money will go toward expansion of Honda's Anna engine plant and its Russels Point transmission facility. Honda's statement says the investment is part of a larger, $1.2 billion spending program to improve and expand its US manufacturing network.
Honda began the program two years ago and has since spent $400 million at its Lincoln, AL plant creating 190 new jobs there; $299 million at the Anna engine plant which created 200 new jobs; $40 million at its Greensburg, IN, creating 300 new jobs; $166 million to expand its East Liberty, OH, plant; $175 million at the Russels Point plant for a 195,000 square foot expansion and an additional 100 jobs. Other investments made at various locations around the country make up the remainder.
