GM said that during the consolidation at its three US IT facilities in Michigan, Georgia, and Texas, approximately 80 to 90 employees will be retained in Arizona.

“Today we announced the difficult decision to cease IDT (information and digital technology) operations at the Arizona IT Innovation Centre at the end of October,” wrote GM’s vice president of Information and Digital Technology Stacy Lynett, in a company-wide email obtained by the Detroit Free Press.
