Honda investing $97 million at Lincoln

TALLADEGA COUNTY — Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln is investing $97 million in its facility creating 20 new jobs.

The announcement of the investment came during the County Commission meeting Monday night. The commission approved a tax abatement for HMA for the investment.

Warren Mathews, an attorney from Burr & Foreman, a law firm that represents HMA, presented the request for tax abatement to the commission.

The overall project will consist of new investments that will increase current production capacity and support the transfer of the Acura MDX luxury sport utility vehicle to Alabama in 2013.

According to Mark Morrison, manager of HMA’s Corporate Affairs and Communication, at the conclusion of the project, and combined with the previous project HMA announced in March, HMA’s total capital investment in Lincoln will grow to more than $1.7 billion.

In another matter, Edward Jennings, a longtime resident of Hindman Lane in Talladega, paid another visit to the commission in regards to the immobility he believes the commission has taken with his previous concerns.

Congratulations to Honda, and its associates

There were many lessons to be learned during the Great Recession that seems to be loosening its grip on the nation and our part of the world.

One lesson learned was that quality still pays off. Quality products sold at reasonable prices continue to be bought, even in tough times.

That, we believe, is one of the reasons the Honda plant in Lincoln ended 2010 with a stable work force that not only had jobs, but needed to work overtime to increase output of the vehicles built at the plant.

That’s a compliment to the company, of course, and to the men and women who work there, producing more than 270,000 vehicles in 2010. They build the popular Odyssey mini-van in Lincoln, the Pilot SUV, Ridgeline pickups and some Accord V-6 sedans.

Honda employs a flexible manufacturing system that allows management to adjust the mix of vehicles coming out the back door to meet the demand on their dealers’ lots. That means they are producing the cars, trucks, vans and SUVs the buying public wants.

So, congratulations to Honda. And to the 4,000 associates who work there, producing quality products that remain popular, even in difficult economic times.

We are fortunate to have Honda in our community. And Honda is fortunate to have developed a workforce of Alabamians whose work ethic and attention to detail pays off in more sales.
