Toyota responds to report on NE Miss. plant

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Toyota Motor Co. responded Thursday to a published report that workers at its northeast Mississippi plant were reassigned to Kentucky and the Prius might not be built there when it opens, but stopped short of calling the report false.

Automotive News on Wednesday quoted Steve St. Angelo, senior vice president of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., as saying the company is entertaining new ideas on other products it could build at the Blue Springs, plant.

Angelo also said he has reassigned the 120 employees at the Mississippi plant to other roles at a Toyota facility in Georgetown, Ky.
