Highlighting the continued growth and impact of the auto industry in Missouri, the governor toured Toyota Bodine’s enhanced aluminum plant, which has hired nearly 110 workers over the past eight months.

“Toyota Bodine’s expansion here in Troy is a prime example of the strength and statewide impact of Missouri’s growing auto industry,” he said.
