MEDIA ADVISORY: Stellantis Celebrates Launch of First New Assembly Plant in Detroit in 30 Years

What: It takes a village!

Just over two years ago, Stellantis made a commitment to Detroit. The promise? To build the first new assembly plant in the city in 30 years, prioritize Detroiters in the hiring process and help uplift the community.

As the all-new, three-row 2021 Jeep® Grand Cherokee L is arriving at dealerships across the country, Stellantis will celebrate the launch of the new plant and the progress on those commitments with the release of a 15-minute documentary film, featuring the people instrumental in bringing the project to life and those who have partnered with the company to bring meaningful change to the city.
