KY Automotive Industry Celebrates Production of State’s First Lexus in Georgetown

“Today’s first Lexus is a strong endorsement of Kentucky’s outstanding automotive workforce and manufacturing facilities,” said Dave Tatman, executive director of the Kentucky Automotive Industry Association. “Toyota has continued to invest in Kentucky because they know that Kentuckians in the auto sector make outstanding products, with dependable suppliers and reliable infrastructure. That combination of talent, facilities and resources makes Kentucky an unbeatable location for the booming auto industry, and we at KAIA are proud to be part of today’s historic event.”
