GM Tonawanda

[BrassMonkey]

The GM Powertrain plant in Tonawanda, NY (just north of Buffalo) was close to death a few years ago during the recession and the bankruptcy. Not long after the bankruptcy was over, the plant got a HUGE investment from GM to make EcoTecs and the new fifth-gen V-8. They've doubled the workforce and are running three shifts a day.

As a Buffalo native, I take a little bit of pride in the fact that GM's new small block is getting made in my hometown. But it's also great to see GM putting investment back into a current facility.

My buddies dad was an engineer in that plant. He retired about 10-12 years ago I think. Good to hear it was brought back to life.
