WYOMING -- Ongoing cutbacks in production by General Motors Corp. is leading to the layoff of 84 people at the company's stamping plant, 300 36th St. SW.
The plant is on track to close by December 2009, and the process of moving dies to sister plants has begun, according to spokesman Gary Evey.
On Friday, GM announced a 21-plant, month-long shutdown in January of assembly plants, including Flint, Lansing-Delta Township, Lansing-Grand River, Pontiac, and Detroit-Hamtramck in Michigan.
The Wyoming plant was not on that list. Layoffs will result at the local stamping plant, although the headcount will depend on how many and how long the assembly plants it supplies are idled.
