General Motors is considering spending nearly $40 million to expand its Lansing Grand River plant.

On Monday, the Lansing city council will consider granting tax abatements to GM.

The abatements are tied to the automaker’s plan to spend $38 million to expand its Lansing Grand River plant. The expansion would add about 150 jobs.

GM already makes its Cadillac ATS at the plant.   The ATS recently won the North American Car of the year award at the North American International Auto Show. 

Cadillac is hoping to make waves in the electric car market with its new Cadillac ELR.

The car is described as a “luxury sport coupe” powered by the same technology as the Chevrolet Volt.

That’s an electric vehicle with a small gas engine for extended range back-up.

Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell says the car is a “first of its kind”: a primarily electric luxury vehicle.

“So we think this is perfectly well-suited for us," Caldwell said. "But more importantly, an interesting new offer for luxury consumers who are interested in the latest technology.”
