General Motors, after receiving over $800 million in state and local incentives aimed at job creation and retention, is laying off 1,300 workers. Meanwhile, Stellantis is taking steps to get the Belvidere Assembly Plant back online by rehiring the first 165 laid-off autoworkers to staff a new parts distribution center. These workers were initially laid off during the United Auto Workers strike. This move is part of a broader plan to reactivate the facility, which was previously a significant source of employment. Local officials and community leaders are collaborating to restore the plant to full operational status.
