GM Michigan Plant Investment

GM Michigan Plant Investment

IncSmart Michigan (Small Business and Startups) - GM Michigan plant investment at Orion Township north of Detroit.  The $300 million investment in the facility will create 400 new Michigan jobs.  This plant is replacing an electric car manufacturing plan for China.  After intense lobbying by President Trump after GM closed an Ohio plant, this is good news for labor unions in Michigan.  Last year General Motors imported 1 million vehicles from Mexico where it has ramped up production facilities instead of opening plants in the US.
