HONOLULU (AP) -- Officials say they're not sure about the status of a South Korean company's plans to build electric cars at a $200 million manufacturing plant in Honolulu.
CT&T's chief executive officer pledged in May to have the 100,000-square-foot plant up and running within two years, providing jobs for 400 local residents. Then-Gov. Linda Lingle heralded the plan at a media event as another important step in the state's pursuit of clean energy.
But Enterprise Honolulu business development specialist Joseph Kourieh told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser it's not clear whether the plant is going to be built.
The CT&T North American website lists a phone number with an Atlanta area code, but that number is out of service. A number for a CT&T office in Southern California also was out of service.
