Lucas County Commissioners' statement on the announcement that GM Powertrain will build line drives for EVs:

“We are thrilled General Motors is advancing its longtime commitment to GM Powertrain and will retool the transmission plant to build line drives for electric vehicles, retaining manufacturing jobs for United Auto Workers Local 14, empowering working families, and growing our economy.
