GM is investing $230 million in four auto plants near Flint, Michigan to make the Chevy Volt hybrid and the Chevy Cruze compact car. GM says that investment will restore 500 jobs.
According to a GM statement, the four plants getting the new investment and new product are Flint Engine South, Flint Metal Center, Flint Tool & Die and Grand Blanc Weld Tool Center.
Flint Engine South is getting the bulk of the new investment - $202 million - to produce engines and the generator for the Volt. Final assembly of the Volt will be in Lordstown, Ohio and the Cruze will be assembled in GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant.
Rightardia is happy to see a large US corporation get off of its ass. US corporations need to follow in the footsteps of GM and be more proactive in the recovery. Wall Street is pushing 10,000 and real estate sales are accelerating. Now is the time for corporate America to start hiring again.
