GM Flint Truck Plant, Michigan

Flint’s only remaining vehicle assembly plant is GM’s Flint Truck Assembly Plant, making full size pickups, the Silverado and GMC Sierra. It opened in 1947, and was shared with the Fisher auto body company in its early years. It has been modernized  with more than $3billion in upgrades in recent years. It is located at the north end of a GM complex, a large contiguous industrial footprint, that makes engines and other components. It is one of less than a dozen vehicle assembly plants operated by GM in the USA. Another dozen or so have been shuttered over the years, including Buick City, the other large GM plant in Flint, which has been reduced to a series of concrete pads, more than a mile long, north of town.
