GM's Lansing Grand River Plant to Temporarily Lay Off Workers After CT5 Production Ends

General Motors' Lansing Grand River plant in Lansing, Michigan is reportedly facing a temporary workforce pause after Cadillac CT5 production ends, with roughly 350 employees expected to be temporarily laid off beginning January 14, 2027. The plant will lose its last vehicle (the CT5) when production ends in December 2026, and the CT5's successor is not expected until about 2029, creating an estimated 18-month hiatus. GM has not publicly detailed interim plans; affected workers may be reassigned to other GM facilities or may qualify for unemployment benefits covering 74% of hourly pay. The facility is expected to undergo extensive retooling for the next-generation CT5, and plans to convert the plant to electric vehicle production were abandoned.

General Motors Company cut 350 jobs in MI as of January 14, 2027.

That is roughly 0.2% of the 163,000 people General Motors Company employs.
