It is operated as a joint venture between Japanese automakers Mazda and Toyota.[2] The facility marks Mazda's return to U.S. production after the company ended operations at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in 2012.[3]
The project was announced on January 10, 2018, with an initial investment of US$1.6 billion,[4] later increased to US$2.3 billion.[5] Construction began on a Tennessee Valley Authority-certified megasite in Limestone County on November 16, 2018.[4][6] At full capacity, the facility is expected to employ 4,000 people and produce up to 300,000 vehicles annually.[7][8]
