What happened
A southeast Michigan battery maker received a new deal for state-driven business incentives, which are now being revised downward. The company originally secured $200 million in state incentives, which are now being reduced to $150 million. In exchange, the company originally committed to delivering 2,112 new jobs and investing over $1.6 billion in a new facility. The company has since revised its job promise to 1,606 jobs and pushed back the project timeline from 2030 to 2037.

Why it matters
The company has received slightly over $70 million from the state to date. The company stated that it is pivoting toward grid-level battery storage, train uses, and defense contracts. State officials maintain that the state still sees a future for its investment in electric vehicle battery technology.
