FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:
BALDWYN, Miss. (AP) - Gov. Haley Barbour says Toyota will resume work at the site of a $200 million plant that will supply parts to its automotive manufacturing facility in north Mississippi.
Toyota Auto Body Co. Ltd. is building the plant in Baldwyn. It will employ about 300 workers. The Toyota Auto Body facility will operate under the name Auto Parts Manufacturing Mississippi Inc. It will provide stamped parts, body weld parts and plastic parts to the Toyota plant.
In June, Toyota announced that it would resume operations at its manufacturing facility at Blue Springs. Barbour says APMM's start of production will coincide with the startup of Toyota's new Corolla plant in fall of 2011.
