The union representing hundreds of GM workers in St. Catharines says they have received the first good news since U.S. tariffs were imposed last year.
General Motors will invest $690-million into the Propulsion Plant on Glendale Ave. to produce the next-generation V8 engines.
Unifor Local 1-99 Plant Chair Trevor Longpre says this is great news for the community.
Longpre also adds that as of now, it’s not clear how many jobs will be created.
St. Catharines will be the only Canadian location producing the V8 engines, and one of three in North America, alongside Buffalo and Michigan.
