Doyle Submits Proposal To Revive Janesville GM Plant

Wisconsin Submitted Bid Tuesday

Updated: 8:17 am CDT June 17,2009

Gov. Jim Doyle personally submitted Wisconsin's proposal Tuesday to General Motors Corp. to reopen its Janesville factory.

Wisconsin is competing with two other states to land a plant to make GM's new small car.

No details about the state's proposal will be released because of the nature of the negotiations, according to Zach Brandon, executive assistant at the state Commerce Department.

Doyle's communications director, Carol Andrews, confirmed that Doyle presented the bid but declined to comment further. GM spokeswoman Sherrie Arb wouldn't confirm who took part.

GM already has closed its Janesville factory while its factories in Orion Township, Mich., and Spring Hill, Tenn., will go on standby later this year.

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen has expressed doubt about whether his state can afford the hundreds of millions of dollars GM apparently wants to bring new production to his state's plant.

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm has said she was determined to land the GM jobs producing up to 160,000 small cars a year.
