Congressman Fleming's Statement Regarding the GM Announcement

Congressman John Fleming released the following statement today following GM's announcement regarding its future plans for the Shreveport plant:

"I spoke with Mayor Glover this afternoon. We will continue to work with GM to try and find new ways for them to maximize the existing infrastructure in North Louisiana. We will also aggressively work with Tengzhong, the Chinese buyer of the Hummer brand, to show the benefits of not only keeping the existing Hummer manufacturing at this plant, but also the possibilities for expanding their US operations at this facility.

"I will also work with Louisiana Economic Development to begin exploring other economic opportunities for Northwest Louisiana, utilizing our very capable workforce in the 4th District. Louisiana is a business friendly state and, as a business entrepreneur myself, I will do all I can to them attract them to our community."
