Fiat Chrysler says construction is set to begin immediately on a new $1.6 billion assembly plant on Detroit's east side.
A representative of the automaker told state officials Tuesday that vehicles are expected to start rolling off the line at the plant by late 2020.
The Detroit City Council on Tuesday approved land deals and community benefits agreements tied to the project. Michigan's Strategic Fund was expected to vote Tuesday afternoon on the state's portion of incentives for the project.
Fiat Chrysler is pledging to add 6,400 jobs in the Detroit area, including just under 5,000 in the city of Detroit.

Not if the corrupt unions have anything to do about it, unless they’re paid-off very well.

Is that sarcasm? I can’t tell. Please enlighten me.
How is bringing thousands of manufacturing jobs to a location in the USA not good?
To: Kid Shelleen
6400 jobs?
Then they better not do drug testing as part of the application process.

From the article:
The new assembly plant is expected to add 3,850 jobs. Fiat Chrysler also plans an additional 1,100 new jobs at its adjacent Jefferson North Assembly plant to build the Jeep Grand Cherokee and a new, three-row, full-size Jeep SUV and plug-in hybrid models for all.

No kidding. This is the first time an auto maker is actually returning to Detroit in how many years/decades?
Would this have happened under any other president than Trump?
