Default Feinstein wants Toyota plant in city

Feinstein wants Toyota plant in city
Calif. senator wants to build Prius in Fresno

Sen. Dianne Feinstein will have Fresno on her mind during a visit to Japan at the end of August, her spokesman said.

Feinstein will push Fresno as the site for a major Toyota plant when she speaks to high-level company officials on Aug. 31, during a visit to Japan, said Feinstein spokesman Howard Gantman.

She will bill Fresno as a good place to build Toyota's hybrid car, the Prius, which has been in high demand since gas prices went up.

Until now, the Prius has been built only in Japan. But with demand for the fuel-efficient model rises, there have been rumors that the company is considering building it in the United States.

A Fresno plant would create hundreds of jobs in an area that has one of the state's highest unemployment rates - possibly as many as 2,000 jobs, said Mark Cornelius, an analyst with Morgan & Co., which analyzes data for automobile plant suppliers.
