GM Ponders $1 Billion Upgrade for Missouri Factory

General Motors Co. has approached the governor of Missouri about state incentives for a possible $1 billion overhaul of the carmaker’s truck plant in Wentzville, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The factory, which employs some 3,500 workers, currently makes large vans and midsize pickup trucks, all of which are due for major redesigns.

Gov. Mike Parsons tells the newspaper that GM is looking for state tax breaks and other incentives that would require legislative approval. Lawmakers say they haven’t heard details about GM’s plans.
