According to city officials, the long-vacant Southwestern High School property was selected over other potential sites located in Ohio, Georgia and South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and other business officials announced this week that the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) approved a $3.5 million performance-based grant that enables Sakthi Automotive Group USA Inc. to invest another $31.8 million in creating an automotive manufacturing expansion. Sakthi first set foot in North America in 2012 when, according to <em><a title=\"Crain's Detroit Business\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crainsdetroit.com\/article\/20150502\/NEWS\/305039977\/sakthi-automotives-detroit-expansion-bets-big-on-nontraditional\" rel=\"nofollow\">Crain\u2019s Detroit Business<\/a><\/em>, the company paid $7.6 million for the former ArvinMeritor facility at 6401 W. Fort St. and opened its first auto parts manufacturing center with the help of a $1.5 million grant from MSF. The facility is currently home to 170 employees which will be maintained here.<\/p>\n<p>Sakthi\u2019s newly announced expansion was made possible thanks to an agreement between the auto supplier, its business partner ProVisions, and the Detroit Public Schools. Accordingly, Sakthi will purchase the vacant high school building and the surrounding property and turn it into a training center for high-tech manufacturing jobs. Located west of the existing facility, the new 70-acre manufacturing campus will house about 650 employees and a training center for new engineers, city officials announced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSakthi is making a major commitment to Detroit and is creating employment opportunities for our residents that otherwise would have remained overseas,\u201d said in a prepared statement Mayor Mike Duggan. As such, the new manufacturing campus is expected to help bring back lightweight metal manufacturing jobs that are currently outsourced in China.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_347896\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/05\/Sakthi-Automotive-Group-in-Detroit-map.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-347896\" title=\"Sakthi Automotive Group's new manufacturing campus in Southwest Detroit - map\" src=\"https:\/\/synd.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2015\/05\/Sakthi-Automotive-Group-in-Detroit-map.jpg\" alt=\"Sakthi Automotive Group's new manufacturing campus in Southwest Detroit - map\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sakthi Automotive Group&#8217;s new manufacturing campus in Southwest Detroit &#8211; map<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As part of the redevelopment project, the historic portion of Southwestern High School will be turned into offices, training rooms and warehouses.
