Waymo will iniitally hire 100 people for the plant
Google's autonomous vehicle branch, Waymo, is building a new plant in Detroit.
The facility will modify Windsor-built Chrysler Pacificas to be self-driving vehicles.
Waymo is going to reopen an axle plant in Detroit that closed in 2012. The company says it will lease a now-closed American Axle & Manufacturing plant north of downtown so it can convert the vehicles.
Waymo officials say they plan to spend around $13.6 million and create up to 400 jobs at the site, which is expected to open in the middle of the year.
The company will get an incentive grant from the state of Michigan worth up to $8 million.
Waymo announced plans for the factory in January.
The company said it wanted a facility in southeast Michigan due to the strong pool of automotive talent in the area.
Last year, Waymo announced it is buying 62,000 Pacificas from Chrysler to add to its self driving fleet.
