General Motors announced Wednesday it’s closing its Chandler IT Innovation Center at the end of October and will cut 940 salaried jobs, according to a Michigan media outlet.
GM notified the 1,000-plus nonunion employees Aug. 23 at the Arizona IT Innovation Center, located in the Price Road Corridor, of the decision to cut most of the jobs there, followed by a companywide email, the outlet reported.
Micah Miranda, the city’s economic development director, released a statement that revealed city staff believed GM had been moving in the opposite direction.
