Bernero: GM To Build Cadillac Small Car In Lansing

Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero says General Motors Co. will announce Thursday it plans to build a new Cadillac small car at its Grand River plant in the city.

Bernero told The Associated Press on Wednesday the automaker will add 600-plus jobs to produce the new vehicle in the city about 80 miles west-northwest of Detroit.

Bernero, the Democratic nominee for governor, calls it "great news for Lansing and the state of Michigan.''

New GM CEO Dan Akerson is expected to make the announcement Thursday at the plant. The Detroit News reported on the GM investment earlier Wednesday.
