GM to Invest $225 Million in Tennessee Paint Shop Renovation

January 1, 2007
General Motors plans to invest approximately $225 million in its Spring Hill, TN, manufacturing complex to renovate the plant’s paint shop in preparation for future vehicle production.

General Motors plans to invest approximately $225 million in its Spring Hill, TN, manufacturing complex to renovate the plant’s paint shop in preparation for future vehicle production. The investment is contingent on GM securing incentives from the state of Tennessee. “GM’s planned $225 million investment in Spring Hill is proof that this facility remains an important part of GM’s North American manufacturing plans,” said Tim Lee, GM vice president for Manufacturing and Labor Relations. “This project is instrumental to GM’s efforts to strengthen its core manufacturing capabilities in the United States and also demonstrates the value GM places on working together with our UAW partners to improve our manufacturing operations.”

With the investment, the plant will be idled for several months for renovations, beginning in April 2007. The company is finalizing the timing of when the hourly workforce will be called back to work and when production will resume at Spring Hill.
