Great article. It really demonstrates that foreign automakers have supported and helped many small towns grow into what they are today.

In San Antonio, the Toyota Tundra plant lay idle for three months this fall, though Toyota hasn't laid off anyone. Instead, according to Richard Perez, president and CEO of the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, Toyota offered the city "a whole bunch of folks who need to get busy" (San Antonio put them to work on beautification projects).
If only more companies would do things like that
