The investment at the company’s existing propulsion facility will include new machinery, equipment, and tools, as well as renovations which will support the sixth generation of V-8 engines, used in full-size trucks and SUVs.
“This investment marks an exciting new chapter for our plant,” said Tara Wasik, plant director at Tonawanda. “For generations, our team has demonstrated its commitment to manufacturing excellence. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting the Western New York community and steadfast in our mission to deliver world-class propulsion systems to our customers.”
To support the project Empire State Development will provide up to $16.96 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits in return for investment commitments.
“Governor Hochul has put a strong emphasis on growing New York’s manufacturing sector, and it’s paying off,” noted Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Hope Knight. “General Motors investing hundreds of millions of dollars in new machinery at its Tonawanda plant is a huge win for Western New York’s long running automotive industry. The entire region will benefit from the retention of hundreds of production and skilled trades jobs.”
