Asian Firm Setting Up Shop In Ohio

A Chinese company is officially moving into the Miami Valley with the promise of hundreds of new jobs. Automotive glass maker Fuyao  has purchased the former General Motors plant in Moraine. The company will hire 800 workers over five years as part of a 200-million-dollar investment.  Fuayo Chair Cao Dewang commented through a translator.

Montgomery County is putting 700 thousand dollars towards building improvements, and the state is giving the company tax breaks.
