Nissan to manufacture Sentra in Mississippi plant

Nissan Motor Co. will start making the Sentra sedan in December at its plant in Canton, Mississippi, company officials said Thursday.

The Japanese automaker will hire another 1,000 workers at the plant north of Jackson, bringing its worker total to nearly 5,000.

The Sentra would be the seventh model produced at the plant, along with the Altima sedan, the Frontier and Titan pickups, the Xterra and Armada SUVs and the NV van. The Canton plant will start making the Frontier and Xterra later this year.
