General Motors has announced it will invest $552 million into three New York and one Ohio manufacturing facility. The investment will support the production of future engines and vehicles at the four key facilities in both states while creating and retaining jobs.
New York will receive $336.66 million in total and will be dispersed among three locations:
- Tonawanda Engine – $295.9 million for future engine production, 857 retained and 67 new jobs
- Lockport – $31.86 million for components. 320 retained jobs (including 13 salaried)
- Rochester – $5.9 million components, 20 retained jobs
The Parma, Ohio metal center will receive a $218 million investment for new presses, dies and sub-assemblies. This investment retains 140 jobs.
“The UAW’s negotiations with GM to reinvest in the Tonawanda, Rochester, Lockport and Parma plants have paid off not only for our members but also for those communities. Our strategic bargaining efforts will keep and grow great American auto manufacturing jobs in places that have seen too much manufacturing disappear and will solidify the job security our members deserve.”

Cadillac’s new Diesel engines 2.0 liter tt four cylinder, 3.0-liter tt v6 and Cadillac’s new TT 4.2 liter v8 engine. And corvette c8 mid-engine, small block sc twin-intercooler 6.2-liter LT5 v8 engine.
I find it odd Cadillac’s V8 will be 4.2L and not 4.0L (proportional to the 4 an 6). Off-topic, I’m probably the only one that is hoping to see a legit pushrod big-block come back. The 2500 and 3500 trucks could use a 572 c.i.
