State Rep. Graham Filler today released the following statement in response to GM’s plans to build a new $2.6 billion battery cell manufacturing plant in Delta Township:

“Winning this investment is a huge deal for mid-Michigan. Other parts of the country were pursuing GM hard for this investment – and by offering the right incentives, we were able to secure 1,700 new jobs that will have ripple effects on smaller suppliers, restaurants and mom and pop shops in our entire region.

“As vehicles become increasingly more high-tech, the auto industry is changing. If Michigan can’t keep up, the good-paying manufacturing jobs that have driven our local economies for decades will move out of state. GM’s commitment is great indication that the new tools the Legislature put in place last month are working. Michigan is the birthplace of the auto industry and the mid-Michigan area will continue to play a role in its future.”
