Doraville GM plant closes
Workers at the General Motors assembly plant in Doraville inspect automobiles on the line. The plant, which employs about 1,200 workers, makes the crossover sport vans Buick Terraza, Pontiac Montana SV6, Chevy Uplander and Saturn Relay. The plant will close Friday, Sept. 26, 2008, as part of a companywide downsizing by the automotive giant, sparked by sluggish sales and heated foreign competition. Elissa Eubanks / eeubanks@ajc.com
