The plan presented to commissioners on May 21 would expand TMMTX. It would include a proposed new standalone building and expansion of existing facilities, with an anticipated building footprint of more than 500,000 square feet.The company said it would invest $531,720,000 in the project, creating 411 new jobs with a base hourly wage of $20.54 and an average salary of $68,245 per year, according to the plan presented to commissioners.
In addition to the 100% tax abatement for 10 years, commissioners also approved the company receiving a skills development grant of up to $250,000 based on 250 new jobs paying at least $34.55 per hour, or $71,864 annually.After the motion passed on June 18, Susann Kazunas, president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc., spoke to commissioners about what the investment means for communities.
“This potential investment and job growth demonstrates our steadfast commitment to job stability, long-term employment, and reinvesting our profits into North America’s market and the success of our operational communities,” Kazunas said. “We’ve been in Bexar County for over 20 years, and Bexar County’s commitment to manufacturing, particularly around workforce development and infrastructure, lays the foundation for our success as demonstrated today.
