Honda Coming to Ohio?

From the PD

Ohio has an advantage over other states in the site battle for Honda's new assembly plant because so many of Honda's experts live here, said Al Kinzer, the first American manager hired by Honda of America in Ohio.

Kinzer was working for Honda in 1978 before it opened the motorcycle plant in Marysville that led to automobile manufacturing in 1982.

Now, Honda has 16,000 workers in Ohio, at two assembly plants, an engine plant, a transmission plant and a research-and-development facility.

Keep your fingers crossed.
