Kentucky officials say General Motors Corp. plans to invest $290 million at the automaker’s Corvette plant in Bowling Green.
The company’s North American manufacturing manager, Arvin Jones, said Friday (6/24) the investment includes technology upgrades to improve the Kentucky plant’s manufacturing process. The investment announcement was made by Governor Matt Bevin’s office in Frankfort.
Bevin’s office says the investment includes a $153 million project aimed at improving vehicle assembly line processes. The latest investment follows a series of upgrades and expansions in recent years at the Corvette assembly plant in south-central Kentucky.
To encourage the investment, Kentucky officials recently gave preliminary approval for GM to qualify for up to $3 million in tax incentives, based on the level of investment and job creation.
