6/17/2017

General Motors plans to bring about 600 jobs back from Mexico to a new industrial park it is building in Texas.

The facility in Arlington should be ready by 2018. It will employ 1,250 people working for companies that supply parts for GM — some of whom already work in the area. About half of the workers will do work that is now done in Mexico, the company said.

GM’s Arlington assembly line turns out the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade.
