Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler and Dodge, plans to reopen a shuttered plant in Illinois after receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from the Biden Administration.
The plant, located in Belvidere, closed last year after Stellantis decided to invest over one hundred million dollars in three plants in Indiana. Leaders plan to reopen the plant in Belvidere to build electric vehicles. Illinois Manufacturing Association President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Denzler says it's a massive win for Illinois.
When the plant closed last year, 13 hundred Illinoians lost their jobs. It's unclear how many the company plans to hire when they reopen the plant.
