Summary
GM and Ford have committed more than $9 billion to U.S. manufacturing projects centered on Michigan, with Ford saying its battery park there will support 1,700 jobs.
The White House cast the spending as proof that Trump’s tariffs and America First policies are pulling production back to the U.S., calling it an automotive renaissance.
GM has invested more than $6 billion since 2025, including $830 million for three propulsion facilities, while Ford paired its $3 billion Michigan project with a roughly $2 billion Kentucky plant overhaul.
Stellantis added to the push with about $628 million across Van Buren Township, Detroit and Warren, and Detroit Diesel is recalling laid-off workers and adding a shift.
Michigan’s expansion now reaches beyond autos: OpenAI, Oracle and Related Digital are tied to a planned $7 billion-plus data center campus, while Corning is investing $1.5 billion and adding 400-plus jobs.
