General Motors Co. Wednesday announced it will invest $63 million in an expansion of its Lansing Delta Township Assembly Plant, part of a $300 million Michigan investment GM CEO Mary Barra previewed this week. While no new jobs are expected, the work is expected to retain 38 jobs.
The Detroit automaker said it will expand its 2.8 million-square-foot Lansing Delta Township plant by 263,000 square feet; construction has started and is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. The plant currently builds the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave SUVs.
“Today’s announcement is the latest example of our ongoing efforts to strengthen key plant capabilities,” GM North America Manufacturing Vice President Cathy Clegg, said in a statement. “We’re committed to producing the highest quality and safest vehicles in the market, which will help us earn customers for life. This is why facility investment is so important.”
