Massive Honda expansion to add thousands of jobs in Marysville
MARYSVILLE - The Honda-Ohio relationship was forged almost 50 years ago, under Gov. James Rhodes and Honda's 64 original associates who began manufacturing Honda motorcycles five miles north of the city. Ten governors later, and with a $3 billion investment in Union County, Honda announced a third manufacturing plant to create more than 2,000 new jobs and churn out an additional 240,000 vehicles a year, including hybrid, gas and some electric. "Since (the Rhodes administration), Ohio and Honda have worked side by side. It has been absolutely an amazing partnership, a partnership that has flourished through nine separate governors," said Gov. Mike DeWine. "I'm the 10th …This partnership will continue when Gov. (Amy) Acton takes office in January." "This is a great Ohio success story," DeWine said at a news conference across the street from where assembly lines were busy assembling Accords and other vehicles. "My commitment to Honda is that this is going to be continued for decades and decades, no matter who the governor of the state is." "This state is rolling," said DeWine. "This state is red hot." In an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency filing previously reviewed by The Dispatch, the project was code named "Project Sunrise"
