Continuing the multi-part series on economic development and the many ways the automotive industry shapes local communities and economies, this episode takes things more local – specifically to Huntsville, Alabama, where Mazda and Toyota opened a joint manufacturing facility that rolled its Job 1 off the production line last September. Host John Bozzella talks with Mark Brazeal, the Vice President of Administration at Mazda Toyota, about how these facilities move from concept to reality and the economic benefits they provide to the cities, regions, and states where they are located.  Hosted on Acast.
