General Motors will implement 350 layoffs at two Lansing facilities starting January 14, 2027. These job reductions are expected to impact local businesses beyond the affected employees. Experts note that smaller suppliers heavily reliant on GM could face significant consequences. Local business owners anticipate a ripple effect on restaurants, gas stations, and other service providers. Despite the layoffs, GM is investing in future production at the Lansing Grand River site.
