(Washington, D.C.) - Today Congressman Mike Sodrel (R-IN) made the following statement on Honda Motor Co., Ltd.'s plan to build a $550 million automotive manufacturing facility in Greensburg, IN.

"I would like to be one of the first to welcome Honda Motor Company to its new home in Southern Indiana," Sodrel said. "This plant means more than Honda hiring some of the most able and hardworking people in the world; it means another step forward for Hoosiers and the economic future of Southeastern Indiana.

The economic benefits of this plant will be far reaching. Construction jobs, suppliers, and ancillary small businesses will all develop as a result of this new plant, employing Hoosiers at every turn."

The Greensburg facility is expected to employ 2,000 people in Southeastern Indiana. Greensburg beat out one site in Illinois and two sites in Ohio to be home to Honda's newest automotive plant.
