Governor Laura Kelly today announced the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.’s decision to invest $125 million and hire 40 new employees at its Topeka plant as part of modernizing its Kansas facility, which has been in operation since 1945. This announcement comes during Governor Kelly’s ‘Prosperity On The Plains’ tour promoting economic development. “Goodyear’s expansion shows that our laser-like focus on creating jobs and supporting manufacturers benefits Kansans across the state,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “Now, 40 more Kansans will have quality jobs and $125 million will be brought into our communities, reinforcing our state’s ability to compete – and win – in the global marketplace.”
