History
In May 1999, the plant was announced to be located on a former sand and gravel quarry, operated from the 1930s to the 1990s, near the White Marsh Mall.[1] GM's Allison Transmission division received millions of dollars in economic incentives from the state of Maryland and Baltimore County as part of luring the facility to White Marsh.[2] The first phase of the plant, a $202 million investment, opened in December 2000 and was officially dedicated on March 30, 2001; however, GM stalled on plans it had initially made to double the facility's size soon after opening.[3]
In 2007, after a $118 million upgrade, Baltimore Transmission began to produce two-mode hybrid transmissions for 2008 model year Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon hybrids using the first transmission of this type developed in the United States.[4] By 2009, the plant had 200 hourly and 40 salaried employees.[5] In 2013, a new section of the facility began to produce electric motors for the Chevrolet Spark, after a $121 million investment by GM matched by $105 million from the United States Department of Energy.[6]
GM announced in October 2019 that it would permanently close the factory, producing transmissions for full-size pickups,[7] as part of an agreement with the United Auto Workers to end a strike by the union. It had already idled the facility, laying off nearly 300 employees, and four others under plans announced the previous year.[8] It was GM's last plant in Maryland, after Baltimore Assembly on Broening Highway closed in 2005.[9] Half of the workers transferred to GM plants in other parts of the United States; the other half either retired or quit.Шаблон:R
In 2021, the plant site was purchased by Merritt Properties for redevelopment as nine new one-story buildings containing about Шаблон:Convert of office and warehouse space,[10] replacing the existing Шаблон:Convert transmission factory.[11]
