The General Motors auto factory in Spring Hill in Middle Tennessee is one of 14 scheduled to be idled in another blow to the Tennessee economy.
Spring Hill was home of the Saturn, “a different kind of car from a different kind of car company,” from the time production began in 1990 until 2007. GM began making the Chevy Traverse crossover vehicle at Spring Hill, but announced Monday that the factory will be shut down but could possibly reopen later.
