Toyota moves to Plano, TX
Sources: Toyota isn't going to be the last big fish to land in Dallas - Dallas Business Journal
Anyone care to speculate/guess/crystal-ball what impact this will have on McKinney Collin County airport and if Toyota's corporate department (if one exists) will move also ?
Thank You

Toyota definitely has a flight department. Gulfstreams and might still have some Lears. Lots of trips to Japan as well. They will probably build you a very nice FBO as well, with a cool fish tank. California is the best at running business out of its state. When the current governor, Jerry Brown, was asked about Toyota's move and over burdensome taxation and regulation, he replied that the smart companies know how to stay here and deal with it... I think Toyota is plenty smart by leaving the state!

Plenty of articles on the news here in TX about the inability of the state to meet the demands of all the businesses and residents. water, roads, other services are falling behind. Particularly the cities that are in major debt, like Houston.
