SPRING HILL, Tenn. – General Motors has announced it will begin building its Chevrolet Equinox at its idled Spring Hill plant next year and plans to begin making a midsized vehicle there in the future.
Monday’s announcement of the $61 million investment will create nearly 700 jobs at the plant outside Nashville.
GM says the subsequent $183 million investment into the unspecified midsized vehicle will create another 1,200 jobs.
Production on the Equinox is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2012.
