GM eyes Michigan site for battery factory

The Detroit News is reporting that GM is looking to a Brownstown Township (Mich.) site for its $43 million lithium-ion battery plant that would supply a key component of the Chevrolet Volt.
Sources familiar with the negotiations said GM is planning a public event as early as next month to announce the development, the story said.
According to the News, the battery plant is expected to create almost 600 jobs and be GM’s second multimillion dollar investment in the state when combined with the automaker’s decision last month to invest up to $800 million building a new small car at its Orion Township (Mich.) plant.
GM couldn’t confirm the location of the plant Thursday. (The Detroit News)
