Toyota announced Monday they will be moving their national headquarters to Plano, Texas, only 3 hours away from Yokem Toyota in Shreveport, LA! Toyota says this move is in effort to help the company be more efficient and make faster decision. "This is the most significant change we've made to our North American operations in the past 50 years, and we're excited for what the future holds," says Jim Lentz, Toyota's U.S. CEO. This booming motor corporation will bring an estimated 4,000 jobs to the area. These jobs will include sales, marketing, engineering, manufacturing and financing. Toyota knew they wanted to be in the southern, closer to their manufacturing hus. After narrowing it down to 4 cities from a 100 it became quite clear that the Dallas metro area was far and above the best choice," Lentz said. Their new headquarters is said to be very environmentally friendly and to be complete in 2016 or 2017.
