Toyota to build new $922 million advanced paint facility at its plant in Georgetown, Ky.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) announced in December it will build a new advanced paint facility at its massive assembly plant in Georgetown, Ky. Gov. Andy Beshear said, “Kentucky and Toyota have formed a winning partnership over the last 40 years that has been transformational for families throughout the commonwealth.” The new $922 million facility will add 1 million square feet of capacity while decreasing carbon emissions by 30 percent. The project, scheduled to open in 2027, follows a $1.3 billion investment announced in 2024 at the Georgetown site to bring assembly of an all-new, three-row electric SUV to the U.S. market in 2026. Both plants directly support Toyota’s goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050.
