GM Adds 250 Jobs at Kentucky Corvette Plant

[FLAprogressive]

General Motors is investing $131 million in the Kentucky plant that assembles the Corvette, creating 250 new jobs.

Mark Reuss, GM's North America president, made the announcement Wednesday at the south-central Kentucky plant with Gov. Steve Beshear and local officials.

GM says the investment will support production of the next-generation Corvette. The Bowling Green plant will continue building the current Corvette for at least the next two model years.

Nearly 400 production workers now assemble Corvettes. Chevrolet spokesman David Caldwell says some of the 250 jobs created might be filled by a pool of laid-off workers.

1. I went to the Corvette museum

I went to the Corvette museum whole bunch of years ago. It was pretty cool looking at all the old designs. Wish I could afford the ones from the late 50's and early 60's.
