Toyota\u2019s new assembly line \u2014 codenamed Project Orca by city and state officials \u2014 could take another step forward next week.<\/p>\n

San Antonio City Council will consider a 10-year tax abatement, along with other incentives, for a new $2 billion facility near Toyota\u2019s existing Southside manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

City and state officials will also consider whether to build a four-lane roadway that would connect Toyota\u2019s facilities with U.S. Highway 281.<\/p>\n

Project Orca first surfaced earlier this year when Toyota applied for another tax abatement from Southwest Independent School District through a state-run program. <\/p>\n

In those filings, Toyota officials said construction would take place between 2026 and 2030 and 2,000 new workers would be hired.<\/p>\n

Southwest ISD officials said they supported the abatement, which would keep tax revenues at 25% of their full value through 2040.<\/p>\n

Now, the City of San Antonio could be preparing to throw its own weight behind the project. City staff are recommending a combination of incentives and grants with an estimated value of over $122 million.<\/p>\n

The headliner is a 10-year, 100% tax abatement on real and personal property at the Toyota site, which would have an estimated value of more than $88 million. Also included in the funding package are grants for job training and up to $24.5 million for road infrastructure construction in the area.<\/p>\n

Council members will vote on the incentives at a June 18 A session meeting.<\/p>\n

Part of those road infrastructure improvements include a new entrance at the northeast side of Toyota\u2019s manufacturing campus that would connect the campus to U.S. Highway 281, roughly 2 miles away.<\/p>\n

Construction for\u00a0that four-lane highway spur\u00a0would start in 2029, according to city documents.<\/p>\n

Incentives would also be available from CPS Energy and the San Antonio Water System and City Council could recommend Project Orca to the state as a Triple Jumbo Texas Enterprise Zone. That opens the door to a state tax refund for Toyota, which could be worth an additional $3.75 million, according to city council agenda documents.<\/p>\n

In return, the city expects Toyota to create 2,000 new jobs by 2031 that meet or exceed the county\u2019s average annual wage of $32.46 an hour.<\/p>\n

If Toyota doesn\u2019t meet those requirements, the City of San Antonio would be able to clawback its incentives.<\/p>\n

The car manufacturer is currently finishing a rear axle production plant that will add 411 new workers to the site.<\/p>\n

The new assembly line would be for car production. Toyota already produces Sequoia SUVs and Tundra trucks in San Antonio.<\/p>\n

In filings with the state, Toyota says it is considering building at other sites in the United States, but the company has not disclosed where.<\/p>\n
