General Motors’ Oklahoma City plant will cease production next week, and close permanently from September 2007.
This is despite GM being offered an incentive package of nearly US$100m per year by the Oklahoma state government, to keep the plant open, according to Reuters.
GM announced the closure of the plant in November 2005, but this had not stopped the state government and the local United Auto Workers trying to protect the 2,200 jobs there.
This was one of five plant closures announced as part of a measure to reduce GM’s North American assembly capacity by one million units.
