General Motors is making a $300 million investment at Orion Assembly Plant and adding 400 jobs to build a new electric vehicle, the automaker said Friday.
The investment is a portion of $1.8 billion GM pledged to spend on manufacturing in the U.S., which will create 700 new jobs and support a further 28,000 jobs across six states, the company said.
GM had originally intended to build the new vehicle outside the U.S.
GM recently said it would shut down five plants in North America and cut 14,000 jobs as it restructures its business to improve profitability.
