ANN ARBOR — Toyota Motor Corp. says it’s expanding its technical center in Michigan and moving 250 jobs from Kentucky.

The automaker’s expansion in Washtenaw County’s York Township near Ann Arbor comes as a result of a $4 million state grant approved Tuesday by the Michigan Strategic Fund.

Toyota plans to build a facility and relocate the positions from its North American manufacturing headquarters in Erlanger, Ky.
