Rep. Richardson Celebrates Honda's $3 Billion Investment in Union County

State Representative Tracy Richardson (R-Marysville) is pleased to share that Honda today announced it will open a new auto assembly plant in Union County, creating more than 2,000 jobs for the community.

“I was delighted to celebrate this bold and exciting announcement for Honda, for Marysville, for Union County, and the State of Ohio,” said Richardson. “Honda brought my family and me here to Ohio nearly 30 years ago when they offered my husband a purchasing job. Today’s announcement was a very full-circle moment for us. This expansion will continue to impact Ohioans and their families, just like mine, for generations to come.”

At the announcement, Honda said it will break ground on this new project in 2027, with production starting in 2029 – Honda’s 50th year of service in Ohio. The $3 billion facility will help produce 240,000 vehicles annually.

“For almost 50 years, Honda has been a cornerstone of this region, providing good-paying jobs, manufacturing well-made, quality vehicles, and boosting the economy for Union County and our state,” said Richardson.

Representative Richardson joined Governor DeWine, Senate President McColley, Honda Executive Vice President Bob Nelson, and other local leaders to provide remarks and celebrate this announcement.
