New Engine Investment

Our community has been on the receiving end of some truly great news in the last few months with the announcement of $825 million dollars of new investment in the Tonawanda Powertrain facility. With this General Motors has made a significant statement to us, believing in our community.Most people are unaware of the amount of hard work and dedication our workforce has contributed, it is the behind-the-scene effort that has been needed to make this happen. This was a complete team effort from employees to GM corporate, to the UAW International level. Yes, the entire Union system was needed to make this great investment happen for our community.
