General Motors to add a shift in Missouri, hire 750

The auto manufacturer will start a third production shift at its Wentzville assembly plant.

Wentzville, Mo., just northwest of St. Louis on Highway 61, will get something increasingly rare in the U.S.: A new shift at an auto plant.

Lisa Brown of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports:

I recently asked a state economic development official if he thought Minnesota would ever be home to another major auto manufacturer. He didn't think so, at least not in the traditional sense, although he pointed out that companies like Polaris are not all that far off from making cars.

Meanwhile, cleanup continues at the torn down Ford plant in St. Paul.
