The Arlington facility will consist of two manufacturing and warehouse buildings spanning more than 1.2 million square feet. General Motors has outlined plans to build a new supplier park to help support its Arlington Assembly plant in Texas.
The facility will consist of two manufacturing and warehouse buildings, spanning more than 1.2 million square feet. The company expects the park to house up to 1,250 employees and bring 850 new jobs to Arlington.
"GM estimates nearly 600 of the new manufacturing and professional jobs created in these facilities will replace work previously done outside of the US," the company says.
Employing around 4,225 workers, the Arlington Assembly factory currently builds the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban; GMC Yukon and Yukon XL; and the Cadillac Escalade.
GM says supplier parks located adjacent to assembly plants create significant cost savings via reduced logistics costs, higher quality direct communications and continuous improvement initiatives. The company currently benefits from supplier parks at its assembly facilities in Fairfax, Kansas; Wentzville, Missouri; Bowling Green, Kentucky; and Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Does this mean we’re winning?
Nah, it's a continuation of 0bama's most excellent policies, praise be upon him.
(Do I REALLY need to say that was sarcasm?)
I had sworn off GM after the bailouts, but having Trump as President has made me willing to give them another look. Moves like this help.
I’ve been a Ford/Lincoln man since the beginning. I once owned a 1975 Chevrolet Nova, which hopefully explains that. I was buying Dodge/Plymouth minivans there for awhile, since they own that niche. My father loved Buicks.
