In Kentucky, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2007, 2.07 percent of the state's total employment was in motor vehicles, bodies and trailers, and parts manufacturing. Moreover, in 2007, over 19% of the state’s workforce that was employed in manufacturing was employed in the motor vehicles, bodies and trailers, and parts manufacturing sector. The automobile industry has a major presence in Kentucky because of the Commonwealth’s advantages, including: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A Quality Workforce Its Central Location State and Local Governments that Understands the Needs of Business A Perennial Provider of Low Cost of Power Pertinent facts on the contribution of the automobile industry in Kentucky include: ♦ In 2006, Kentucky’s automobile industry represented 3.84% of the state’s gross domestic product. ♦ Kentucky’s automotive industry gross domestic product for 2006 was over $5.6 billion. ♦ In 2007, Kentucky had the nation’s 3rd highest level of auto industry related employment as a percent of total state employment in the United States. Kentucky Auto Assembly Plants Following are brief backgrounds of automobile manufacturing facilities in Kentucky: Ford first came to Kentucky in 1912 when it opened a sales and service office on South Third Street. It was 1913 when Henry Ford began a "factory" at the Summers-Herman Dealership in Louisville. In 1916 production started in a four-story brick building on South Third Street, which built 7,000 vehicles a year. The plant turned out Model A's and other Ford trucks and cars. During World War II, the plant geared up to produce military equipment. The plant closed in 1925 - the same year Henry Ford created what was called "the first modern assembly plant" in Louisville. In 1955, Ford began operations at the Louisville Assembly Plant, and in 1969, began operations at the eastern Jefferson County Truck Plant. In 2008, the Louisville Assembly Plant employed 2,100. In 1997, an expansion at the Louisville operations added 1,000 jobs and 130,000 square feet to the Kentucky Truck Plant. Total employment at the truck plant in 2008 was 3,500. The expanded facility, at 4.6 million square feet, is the second-largest Ford assembly plant in North America. On June 1, 1981, General Motors moved production of the Corvette from St. Louis to Bowling Green, which remains today as the exclusive home of the Corvette. The 1,100 employees in 2008 built over 35,000 vehicles at the 1 million square foot plant. The Cadillac XLR has been produced in Bowling Green since the end of 2002. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky began production in 1988 and is Toyota's largest production plant in North America. With two vehicle production lines and a powertrain engine and axle facility, in 2008, more than 7,000 team members build about 500,000 vehicles and nearly 400,000 engines. In addition, Toyota’s North American Headquarters is in Erlanger, Kentucky employing 1,400. Toyota’s North American Parts Logistics Division is located in Hebron, KY employing 416. 3 Kentucky Automobile Production Numbers Motor Vehicle Production & Facilities Table 2 Rank by 2007 US Car Production In 2007, 1,046,531 cars and light trucks were assembled in Kentucky. General Motors has a plant in Bowling Green that produces the Corvette and the Cadillac XLR. Ford's Louisville Assembly plant produces the Ford Explorer, the Mercury Mountaineer SUV models and the Sport Trac. The Ford Kentucky Truck plant manufactures the Ford FSeries Super Duty models. Toyota has a plant in Georgetown that manufactures the Toyota Camry, Camry Hybrid, Solara and Avalon. In addition, Erlanger is home to Toyota's North American Manufacturing Headquarters.

In 2007, a workforce of nearly 82,0001 was employed in motor vehicle-related facilities in Kentucky. Employment in the motor vehicle industry has decreased by 4.49% between 2006 and 2007, compared to growth of 1.03% for all industries and negative growth for manufacturing. Although Kentucky’s employment growth in the motor vehicle manufacturing sector was negative between 2006 and 2007, it still ranks fourth best among the top ten motor vehicle producing states. The gross domestic product for the motor vehicle industry in 2006 was $5.6 billion, and the sector experienced real growth rates of 12.7% for the period between 2002 and 2006. This growth rate ranks third among the top motor vehicle producing states. The 2006 GDP per capita of $1,326 for the motor vehicles industry also ranks the state third. The Annual Survey of Manufacturers November 2007 issue lists the value of shipments for the motor vehicle industry at nearly $35 billion, which ranks Kentucky among the upper half of the top motor vehicle producing states.

Note: In this table, the Motor Vehicle Industry is defined by NAICS 3361, 3362 and 3363. The motor vehicle industry has impacted the economy and people of the Commonwealth in a very positive manner. The motor vehicle industry provides thousands of high wage jobs to the people of Kentucky. In 2007, the average weekly wage for motor vehicle manufacturing was $1,770 compared to $901 for the manufacturing sector and $702 for all industries. Employers in the motor vehicle industry paid over $2.8 billion in wages to employees in 2007, and wages paid totaled nearly $1.4 billion in the motor vehicle manufacturing segment of the industry. The motor vehicle industry accounted for 3.84 percent of Kentucky’s total GDP in 2006. Of the top motor vehicle producing states, only Michigan’s and Indiana’s motor vehicle industries comprise a larger share of their states’ overall economy.

Actual employment related to production of motor vehicle components, parts, or services is lower since some employees are involved in production of products or services unrelated to motor vehicles. 5 Business Cost Comparison Kentucky continues to be one of the states in the eastern United States with the lowest overall cost of doing business according to Economy.com. The May 2007 edition of the North American Business Cost Review, measures the cost of doing business within a state for unit labor cost, tax burden, and energy cost. Kentucky has been determined to have the sixth lowest overall cost of doing business when compared to the states east of the Mississippi River and to the states that are generally considered to be economic competitors with Kentucky. The index utilized to measure the overall cost of doing business within a state ranks Kentucky as the state with the 15th lowest cost nationally with a state index of 93. The national average index is 100.

The labor costs for Kentucky employers compare very favorably to those in the other top auto production states, especially considering the productivity of the Kentucky workforce. The average weekly wages are below the U.S. average for all of private industry and manufacturing. With respect to manufacturing, only Alabama and Tennessee among the top 10 auto producing states have lower average weekly wages than Kentucky. For private industry, the average weekly wages in Kentucky are the lowest among these states. The Cost of Doing Business Table (6) shows that Kentucky ranks fifth lowest among the top 10 auto producing states with respect to the unit labor cost. A recent study on the cost of workers compensation finds that the cost of providing workers compensation insurance is on par with the national average. (Note: Ohio data is not available for workers compensation cost index because it is one As shown in the Labor Cost table (7), Kentucky ranks 3rd highest among the top auto producing states with respect to the average weekly wages for the motor vehicle manufacturing industry. However, as shown by table (5), the motor vehicle manufacturing workforce in Kentucky is among the most productive of the top motor vehicle producing states.

The July 2008 edition of the North American Business Cost Review, measures the cost of doing business within a state for unit labor cost, tax burden, and energy cost. Among the nation’s top 10 states in light vehicle production, Kentucky’s tax cost of business is among the lowest. The index utilized to measure the tax cost of doing business within a state ranks Kentucky as the 14th lowest cost nationally with a state index of 91.0 (see Table 6). Nationally, Kentucky ranks 6th lowest in per capita state and local government property tax burden, and 12th lowest in per capita state and local government tax burden.

Note: A ranking of 1 represents the best condition = lowest business Tax Modernization In March 2005, House Bill 272 legislation was signed into law to reform Kentucky’s outdated tax system. The legislation began the first comprehensive overhaul in more than half a century to a revenue system largely based on a 19th century economy. The reform seeks to accomplish several objectives including improving the tax climate for economic development, including eliminating the corporate license and intangible property taxes cost. Points of Interest to the Business Community from Tax Law Changes • Eliminates the corporation license tax. • Lowers maximum corporate income tax rate to 6% beginning in 2007. • For years beginning on or after January 1, 2007, a new limited liability entity tax (LLET) will replace the Alternative Minimum Calculation, and will apply to every corporation and every limited liability pass-through entity doing business in Kentucky on all Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits with the same relief thresholds as provided for the AMC. • Maintains tax credit incentives against new corporation taxation plan. • Eliminates intangible property tax on all but financial institutions and domestic life insurance companies, including accounts receivable. 8 Utility Costs A globally competitive business environment compels companies to examine the long-term costs of production and distribution, and to focus on regional differences in the net costs of doing business. Among the most significant factors having a direct influence on bottom-line costs is the annual capital that must be committed to utility consumption. Kentucky occupies the premier position in the provision of low cost electric power among the top vehicle producing states – enjoying a 13% to 149% cost savings over these competitors. In 2006, Kentucky provided the second-lowest electric power cost east of the Mississippi River – and least expensive among the top vehicle producing states. Moreover, in 2006, data from the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration, show that Kentucky lays claim to the position of fourth-lowest among all fifty states - for the provision of industrial power. Table 9 INDUSTRIAL SECTOR COSTS Average Revenue Per Kilowatthour Missouri Leading States Light Vehicle Production Illinois Alabama Indiana Tennessee Ohio Michigan Texas California KENTUCKY US AVERAGE 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Cents Per KH (2006) Source: US Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration/Electric Power Annual 2006 Kentucky’s electric power cost, in the industrial sector, ranks fourth-lowest in the nation. Approximately ninety-one percent of Kentucky's electric power is produced by coal-fired power plants, with the balance generated by hydroelectric dams, fuel oil, and natural gas. Kentucky's large coal reserves ensure abundant supplies of electric power for the foreseeable future. In turn, a large number of utility providers, and oversight by the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) (http://www.psc.state.ky.us), continue to ensure competitive rates for industrial users. These power distributors are allowed to negotiate lower economic incentive rate contracts with large industrial and commercial customers, subject to approval by the Kentucky PSC. Significant discount rates can be granted for up to five years for both new and expanding operations. 9 Kentucky’s Central Location within Auto Alley Transportation well addressed by Kentucky's statewide system of commercial and general aviation airports. Non-stop international flights depart from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport and from the Louisville International Airport in Louisville/Jefferson County. A freight distribution network that is efficient, safe, and technologically competitive makes Kentucky an ideal location for businesses needing just-in-time delivery and reliable access to markets and suppliers. Geographically located within a day or two highway travel of two-third's of the nation's buying power, Kentucky maintains a continuing six year highway construction and improvement plan that ensures necessary structured growth and regular maintenance. In 2008, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) was listed as 1 of 10 Best Hubs in North America by J.D. Power and Associates, and placed 2nd in Best Overall Concessions by an Airport Revenue News industry survey. Since 1994, travelers have consistently named CVG one of the best airports in the world in surveys by SkyTrax, AC Nielsen, OAG Worldwide, J.D. Power and the International Air Transport Association. No other airport has been ranked so highly in so many independent surveys. The backbone of the Commonwealth's 79,000 miles of federal, state, and local roads is five major interstate highways (I-75, I-71, I-65, I-64, and I24), which provide direct routing to the Great Lakes and Canada, the Gulf States and Florida, the Atlantic Seaboard, and St. Louis and points west. Within the state, nine major parkways/highways provide access to the Interstate system, while state maintenance covers nearly forty percent of the entire highway network. Nationwide survey shows that both the Louisville and the Cincinnati, OhioKentucky-Indiana areas are logistically ranked in the Top 20 for cities with access to interstate highways. Cincinnati serves more than 15.7 million passengers in 2007. It is one of the top airports in the U.S. for on time arrivals. Eight passenger airlines offer more than 470 daily departures non-stop to 120 cities worldwide. CVG’s international gateway offers nonstop service to Paris, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, Rome, Amsterdam, Nassau, Cancun and Toronto and remains an attractive gateway for increased international flights. Delta Air Lines has teamed up with Air France, Alitalia Airline and other airlines to offer seamless travel to more than 500 cities in 105 countries. Kentucky’s metropolitan area transportation system earns high rankings by Expansion Management magazine in their analysis of logistics factors (Expansion Management, 2006 Logistics Quotient). Kentucky metro areas achieved the following ratings among the nation’s metropolitan areas: • • The Louisville International Airport is home to the international air-sorting hub of United Parcel Service. UPS Worldport, the world's most sophisticated shipping facility, has helped make the Louisville International Airport the 3rd largest cargo airport in the nation, and the 9th largest cargo airport in the world according to Airports Council International. Cincinnati-Middletown, KY-IN MSA – 5 Star Logistics Metro Louisville, KY-IN MSA - 5 Star Logistics Metro Kentucky's railroads – CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Canadian National Railroads - ensure direct service from Kentucky to the major rail centers of the Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Seaboard. The airport now has nonstop service to 23 destinations and convenient connections to cities worldwide. The airport accommodated more than 3.8 million passengers in 2007. Accessibility to modern major airport services, and safe, efficient air travel for business purposes, are 10 Automobile and Truck Assembly Plants within 500 Miles of Central Kentucky Canada Minnesota 60 m ile s 45 46 64 47 50 65 66 51 48 39 40 4142 49 43 44 52 5354 55 6768 56 57 31 30 25 22 26 15 50 0 5958 37 Iowa Ontario Michigan Wisconsin 36 18 17 m ile s 38 25 0 16 63 New York Pennsylvania 24 27 Ohio 29 Indiana 28 61 Maryland 23 Missouri 32 33 35 Illinois West Virginia 19 2 1 3 Virginia Kentucky 62 4 13 11 12 North Carolina 20 Tennessee 21 les 14 mi 0 25 Arkansas 69 South Carolina 8 9 6 Georgia Alabama 50 0 Mississippi 10 m ile s 5 7 Louisiana Florida 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Ford Ford Toyota General Motors Honda DaimlerChrysler Hyundai Nissan General Motors Ford Nissan General Motors PACCAR/Peterbilt BMW 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 General Motors Subaru AM General AM General Toyota Freightliner Freightliner Ford PACCAR/Kenworth Truck Co.
