Toyota is donating $1 million for local science and technology education programs as the company makes plans for its electric vehicle battery plant in Randolph County. 
Toyota Motor Corporation says it's boosting its investment in a planned Greensboro-Randolph megasite by $2.5 billion.
Last December, Governor Roy Cooper announced plans for the arrival of Toyota's lithium battery plant to the Triad, and along with it, thousands of good-paying transportation jobs.
Officials with the Greensboro-Randolph Megasite hope adding new land will help lure a major manufacturer to the Piedmont Triad.
An economic development project in the Triad is moving closer to becoming a reality.
