LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The state’s economic development board on Tuesday approved three projects that are expected to bring $350 million in investment and add 881 jobs, more than half of which would come from a west Michigan automotive supplier expanding into the Detroit suburbs.

Walker-based Challenge Mfg. Co., which has four facilities and more than 2,000 employees, would get a $2.5 million state performance grant if it builds a 400,000-square-foot facility on the site of a deserted General Motors plant in struggling Pontiac and creates 450 jobs. Challenge chose Michigan over a competing site in Ontario, Canada, according to Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration.
