Suspicious news.
From USA TODAY Ex-GM plant idle awaiting radical 3-wheel car SHREVEPORT, La. -- Shreveport's former General Motors Assembly Plant could soon be spinning textiles even if it never boots up its vehicle assembly lines to make an unusual three-wheeled car. A company called the Gulf Coast Spinning Company will relocate to the shuttered factory even though a startup automaker, Elio Motors, has been taken space in the same facility. Elio Motors rents approximately 1.5 million square feet of the former GM assembly plant from industrial developer Stuart Lichter which holds the lease to the 4.1 million square foot building. Elio Motors did not respond to multiple requests for interviews. Licter, president and board chairman the Industrial Realty Group, also sits on Elio's board. He also did not respond to an interview request. Onno Steger, IRG's real estate director, said he could not speak about Elio or Gulf Coast Spinning Company. http://usat.ly/1MwkiaW Get USA TODAY on your mobile device: http://www.usatoday.com/mobile-apps Jim and Marybeth Planck
