The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has awarded FCA US a $4.56 million performance-based grant to hire 700 new workers for the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant .
The new hires will be added when FCA begins building the next-generation Ram pickup at Sterling Heights; current workers will also be recalled from layoffs, bringing employment at the plant from 1,846 to roughly 4,600.
FCA’s $1.5 billion plant investment also brought a 15-year tax break from the MEDC's Michigan Strategic Fund, worth an estimated $11.3 million.
The MEDC is a partnership between the state of Michigan and the private sector dedicated to promoting job creation and tourism in the state.
