Honda Is Building a $3 Billion Plant in Ohio — 2,000 New Jobs Are Coming
Honda is doubling down on Ohio — and bringing 2,000 jobs with it.
The automaker announced Monday that it will build a new $3 billion auto assembly plant in central Ohio, on land between its existing Marysville and East Liberty plants. The new factory will build hybrids, with capacity for 240,000 vehicles a year, and production is set to begin in 2029.
The plant is part of $3.38 billion in total new Ohio commitments from Honda, adding 2,390 jobs overall. That includes $338 million in additional Ohio investments and a retooled engine plant in Anna. A state tax credit for the project was approved Monday.
It will be Honda’s fourth auto plant in Ohio — a state where the company has built cars for more than four decades.
For Northwest Ohio, the news is about more than Marysville. A plant of this size ripples through the state’s auto supply chain, and Ohio’s auto corridor runs straight through Toledo’s backyard.
