WARREN (WKZO)– General Motors has announced that the automaker will be spending a billion dollars to upgrade the Warren Tech Center and adding 26-hundred more jobs over the next four years.
The Governor was on hand for the official announcement this morning.
They may make the vehicles in their factories, but they are designed, tested and made safer at the Tech Center.
They plan new design studios, a new IT building and more parking.
19-thousand engineers, artists, computer experts and information technologists already work at the facility, which was recently named a Historic Landmark.
Some of the boilers and infrastructure is also “historic” and need to be upgraded, and a section of the facility that was damaged by flooding last year will also be remodeled.
This project is in addition to the $5.4-billion that CEO Mary Barra announced would be spent upgrading their plants last week.
