GM said the investment will create about 2,600
jobs in core areas, including product engineering, information
technology and design.
The Technical Center campus currently has more than 19,000
employees and has been the nerve center of GM's engineering
efforts since it was inaugurated in 1956.
The 710-acre Tech Center, which is just north of Detroit,
includes 38 buildings, 38.3 acres of lakes and pools and 174
acres of parking space.
"I am very excited about the investment in the GM Tech Center in
Warren, which means more jobs and new revenue for police and
fire services," Warren's Mayor Jim Fouts said.
The renovation project will start this month and run through
2018, GM said.
