LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan on Tuesday approved state incentives for nine economic development projects expected to bring about 3,900 jobs, nearly half from General Motors consolidating engineering jobs from outside the state at a site in Michigan.
Most of the new jobs and estimated $1 billion in private investment would come in the auto industry — ranging from brake supplier Brembo’s plan to build a foundry near its Homer facilities in southern Michigan to Challenge Mfg.’s planned new plant in the Lansing area. Other projects include solar company Suniva creating a plant in Saginaw Township, YanFeng USA Automotive Trim Systems expanding its factory in Macomb County, and H.A. Automotive Systems buying a building in Troy to establish a headquarters, manufacturing and research and development facility.
