GM EV Manufacturing Investment is Supporting Lansing Auto Industry

In July 2024, General Motors received a $500 million grant, funded by the clean energy plan, to convert its Grand River Plant in Lansing for EV manufacturing. The grant and an additional $900 million investment by GM will retool production lines at the facility for EV production. The conversion allows the facility to retain 650 workers represented by United Auto Workers Local 652 and add 50 additional jobs at the factory. Lansing’s Mayor, Andy Schor, said the investment meant that “Lansing will continue to put the world on wheels, now and for decades into the future.”
