DETROIT (WXYZ) â Road improvements are coming to the Detroit-Hamtramck border around General Motors' Factory ZERO plant, thanks in part to a transportation economic development grant issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the grant, saying that the project will help support 2,200 new jobs in the city of Detroit.
"This is good news for our families, our businesses, and our economy as a whole. Every Michigander deserves to drive on our roads safely, without blowing a tire or cracking a windshield, and this partnership with GM will help us reach that goal while creating good jobs for Michigan workers," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a news release. "I am pleased that we were able to work with this long-standing company and the City of Detroit on the road improvements necessary to support GM's Factory ZERO, and I will continue working with everyone who wants to create Michigan jobs and improve our state's infrastructure. Let's get to work."
