General Motors Will Invest $1 Billion in Detroit Area Technology Center

The auto company says the money will lead to about 2,600 new white-collar jobs at the Warren Tech Center.

General Motors Co. will spend $1 billion on a makeover of its iconic Warren Technical Center, an aging facility that has long served as one of the auto industry’s storied hubs of car design and engineering.

 

The planned investment is expected to generate 2,600 new salaried jobs at the nation’s largest auto maker and provide a shot in the arm for a Southeast Michigan region on the rebound after being stung by economic downturn.

The sprawling, 59-year-old complex in Warren, Mich., will start getting upgrades this month, and work will continue through 2018, the company said.

GM’s work on the site will include updated design studios, renovated research-and-development facilities and new information technology facilities.
