The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that $1.7 billion will be given across Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland and Virginia to support the conversion of 11 shuttered or at-risk auto manufacturing and assembly facilities. The conversion will reprogram these facilities to manufacture electric vehicles and their supply chains. This announcement reflects the nation’s deep commitment to reinvest and revitalize the manufacturing communities and the workers who have helped build America’s middle class. These investments will create and retain thousands of good-paying jobs and support the American auto communities that have driven the U.S. economy for generations.
