2 million sq ft manucturing building with 1 million sq ft parts building.
It will need 1000-1500 acres somewhere close to the interstate.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
And with access to two railroads. If we're limiting this to Omaha metro, with trackage rights, it could be anywhere but for immediate two-railroad access...Glenwood? Plattsmouth?Coyote wrote:It will need 1000-1500 acres somewhere close to the interstate.
RR access isn't the dealmaker though, it depends on what state/municipality will cough up the incentives. My money's on Texas.
Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Plattsmouth has 2, but Glenwood does not. Omaha, Bellevue, Fremont, Yutan, Lincoln, and Columbus. Southern Council Bluffs has 3 railroads when you throw in the IAIS RR.
Another thought, OPPD owns a rail line that runs from Lincoln to Nebraska City, and they recently re-opened the line. In Nebraska City the line connects to the UP, on the Lincoln end of the line, it connects to the BNSF. They recently re-opened the line and built a new grain facility near Syracuse, NE.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
You're right, but it ain't that far to Oreopolis, especially if Toyota 'suggested' BNSF share :-)Brad wrote:Plattsmouth has 2, but Glenwood does not.
I thought about throwing in CN, too but I'm not sure how much time-sensitive freight goes on either CN or IAIS.Brad wrote: Omaha, Bellevue, Fremont, Yutan, Lincoln, and Columbus. Southern Council Bluffs has 3 railroads when you throw in the IAIS RR.
OPPD subs out the train crew, and locomotives to UP, is that correct? Still good to see in any case.Brad wrote: Another thought, OPPD owns a rail line that runs from Lincoln to Nebraska City, and they recently re-opened the line.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Did they say Nebraska is actually in the running? I saw there was a list of about 10 states floating around and Nebraska wasn't on it, but Iowa was.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
I found this on the Jacksonville Business Journal. It doesn't look like Nebraska is on the list of states they are considering.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Not surprising. Although their story did, surprisingly, include the state of Iowa on their "states in the running" list.. Florida does not acknowledge Nebraska as an actual place.. Therfore, how could the Jacksonville Biz Jounal include "The Good Life State" on their list?..OmahaOmaha wrote:I found this on the Jacksonville Business Journal.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Was listening to a piece on NPR about globalization and they were interviewing a guy in Greenville, SC. They guy said the largest BMW plant in the world came down to Greenville, SC and Omaha, NE. I guess we know where that got built. But that was something I didn't know.
Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Good to hear all of the organizations got organized quickly. Obviously incentives will be a big thing here, but I think getting a site organized will be important too. We saw that the Chamber learned that from early data center misses.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Three deals Nebraska was in the running for. Micron Technology wanted to put a chip plant in Nebraska. It went to Utah. Mercedes. BMW. BMW went to SC because they had a port. Mercedes went to Alabama. Same deal.choke wrote:Was listening to a piece on NPR about globalization and they were interviewing a guy in Greenville, SC.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
I believe Trenton asked during the interview about needed a port and the answer was no because these cars are for US customers only.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Mercedes wanted to be in the eastern time zone and used our leadership to beat up on Alabama. BMW wanted to be on the Atlantic and again our leaders at time time allowed them to string us along.NovakOmaha wrote:Three deals Nebraska was in the running for.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Would Nebraska have the labor pool to staff a 1-2,000 employee car factory?

Given the easy drive from Illinois and the economic collapse building there, I could see a big "No Problem!" line of UHauls heading west on I80.jessep28 wrote:Would Nebraska have the labor pool to staff a 1-2,000 employee car factory?

Is anyone glad that Mircon didn't choose Nebraska? That company lays off chunks of their workforce so often it makes First Data blush.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
I don't remember which one...I want to say BMW, but there was a rumor that one of them was actually ready to choose Nebraska but the land wasn't being offered for free. I also think it was something about shovel ready land. It's been a while and at my advanced age my memory isn't what it was.
When Micron was choosing the Unicameral rushed a series of incentives and bills through called "Micron Bills" that offered a ton of cash to them. It was a very big deal.

Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Yes, and they would probably get at least 10 applicants for every position. These are good paying blue-collar jobs, and Nebraska should be bending over backwards to attract jobs like these.jessep28 wrote:Would Nebraska have the labor pool to staff a 1-2,000 employee car factory?
Re: Toyota looking to build new US plant
Not if it involves the legislature and local governments writing a blank check. A multi billion dollar auto manufacturer should build a plant with 100% of their own money.ricko wrote:Yes, and they would probably get at least 10 applicants for every position.

Unfortunately that's not the way it works. Whether it's moving or building a new high-rise HQ or a manufacturer, incentives will be involved.

Announced that Huntsville, Alabama won the competition. Combined state and local incentives are between $800 and $900 million for the facility.
