(Washington D.C.)- Congressman Sander Levin welcomed news today that Chrysler Group LLC will keep open the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) and add a second shift of production. The announcement came during a visit to Chrysler and GM assembly plants by President Obama.
“I welcome news that the Chrysler assembly plant in Sterling Heights will continue operations. Today’s announcement is more proof that providing government assistance while GM and Chrysler restructured was the right thing to do. The investment is paying off, and we are witnessing a turnaround in the domestic auto industry.
“The President’s visit today and the decision to extend SHAP both underscore the importance of partnerships at the local, state and federal levels to transform our manufacturing base and lead in the next generation of vehicle manufacturing.”
