There's been a sale in the works for this assembly plant...originally AM General military Hummers were built there, then switched production to the civilian version (H2). More recently they were building the R-class SUV under contract for Mercedes. Details were a little sketchy with regard to who was buying the facility aside from it was a company to make EVs. I was hoping it would be Volvo or one of Geely's other brands within the Volvo umbrella (Polestar or Lynk). Oh well :(
