Representatives from Toyota Motor Corp. notified officials in Arkansas and Tennessee that Marion, Ark., and Chattanooga have been eliminated from consideration.
An official announcement is scheduled Tuesday morning in Tupelo, where Gov. Haley Barbour is expected to make it official.
Marion, Tupelo and Chattanooga were all considered finalist for the $1 billion-plus project. Air quality problems in and around Marion and Chattanooga opened the door for Tupelo, which made a late push.
The new plant would bring unparalleled capital investment, jobs and prestige to the Tupelo area, which has a rich history in furniture manufacturing.
