Comments

  • Was announced Tuesday that GM would be closing this plant anlong with a few other truck plants!
  • Janesville Assembly was visited by Barack Obama in February, 2008, when he made the comment that this plant could be retooled and kept open for another 100 years. Less than a year later, Janesville Assembly was permanently closed. As one of the oldest GM plants, Janesville Assembly was doomed by the overcapacity of auto plants during the auto restructuring of 2008-9.
