Fiat Chrysler Receives $4.56 Million for Sterling Heights Assembly Plant

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Candice Miller (MI-10) applauded Michigan Strategic Fund’s (MSF) approval of a $4.56 million grant for Fiat Chrysler in light of the company’s $1.48 billion investment and announcement that it will create 700 new jobs at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant:

“This summer, Fiat Chrysler announced it would invest $1.48 billion in revamping its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in preparation for its role in the production of the next-generation Ram 1500. Creating an additional 700 jobs at the assembly plant, this investment is a major economic boost for the Sterling Heights community and underscores the continued resurgence of our domestic auto industry. Continuing to support our domestic auto industry is critical to Michigan’s economy and, really, the economy of our entire nation. Today, I applaud the Michigan Strategic Fund’s announcement that it will continue to support the industry through its $4.56 million grant for this assembly plant.”

The Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) was created in 1984 to promote economic development and create jobs in Michigan.  For more information about MSF, please visit them online: http://www.michiganbusiness.org/michigan-strategic-fund-msf/
