Gotion Inc. reassessing project partnership with BR Township

Posted About One Year Ago by Steve Gove

An advanced battery parts manufacturer potentially coming to Mecosta County will do so without the help of Big Rapids Township.

In an email to officials in Big Rapids and Green Townships, Gotion Inc. says they are reassessing plans and will move forward with Green Township but plans with Big Rapids township have been put on hold.

Environmental concerns and Gotion being a Chinese founded company have been raised by residents and trustees in Big Rapids Township.

Officials say Gotion, originally planned to build a portion of the plant on 115 acres in Big Rapids Township, is now focusing solely on the core 500 acres in Green Township.

Gotion announced last year it would build a battery parts plant in the Big Rapids area and create up to 2,300 jobs across four new manufacturing plants spanning a combined 2 million square feet.
