Aerial view of GM Technical Center campus in Warren

The City of Warren is dedicated to keeping itself vibrant and a good home for business, industry, and manufacturing. Economic development is a prime concern, with the city using various tools and tax incentives to retain and attract large and small companies.

vec The City of Warren is the global operational hub for the General Motors Corporation, which invested $1 billion in its sprawling GM Technical Center campus located along Van Dyke. The highly advanced Vehicle Engineering Center, where 8,000 automotive engineers and technicians are designing future vehicles for GM, has been added to the campus which houses technological and manufacturing research and development facilities.

Warren’s attractiveness to high-tech industry, along with automotive manufacturers and suppliers is evident by the fact the city organized the quick redevelopment of the former Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant, which was listed on the Base Realignment and Closure Act in 1995. The site where tanks were once produced for the U.S. Army for 50 years was transformed within seven years by the city into 134.7-square acres blossoming with new construction.
