Hello Kentucky!! Toyota Is Gonna Start Building Cars in Georgetown But Not Sure For How Long.

April 8, 2011 No Comments

Starting April 21, 2011, the old Georgetown, KY plant will be back to what it should be doing. Building vehicles.
Toyota is coming stateside to adjust for North American production. While this is unfortunately due to parts availability following the March 11 Japan earthquake, I’ll tell ya that nukular must not be in the picture anymore! ANYWAY!!
Over the next few weeks, Toyota’s North American vehicle plants will operate on a reduced schedule, with production suspended on April 15, 18, 21*, 22, and 25. Most of the company’s North American engine and component plants will follow the same schedule. Future production plans will be determined at a later date.

This is a great review. However, let us not forget one part of our forest service. Teddy Roosevelt was able to create and protect our national forest service was there were massive fires going on (The Big Burn) around the time it was created.
People put out the fires that get created in our national forests.
We will always need people to help us put out our nations fires.
The forest service is there to provide our national treasures and protect them in times of need.
America will always protect its forests. It is part of the National Treasure of this great country.
