        The first head of Toyota Motor Corp.'s Georgetown, Ky., assembly plant will pay a visit to the plant and Northern Kentucky today.

        Fujio Cho, who headed the Georgetown plant from 1987 to 1994, is making his first official visit to North America since being named president of Toyota Motor Corp. last year.

        Monday, Mr. Cho officially dedicated Toyota's Buffalo, W.Va., engine plant, which employs 650. The plant, which began producing four-cylinder engines in late 1998, now also assembles V-6 engines and will add automatic transmissions within a year.

        Following a visit to the Georgetown plant this morning, Mr. Cho will make a stop at Toyota Motor Manufacturing's North America's headquarters in Erlanger.
