GM Opening 81,000-SF Heritage Center

STERLING HEIGHTS, MI-General Motors is creating a new "heritage center" to serve as the repository of its history in a building off Mound, just south of Metro Pkwy.

STERLING HEIGHTS, MI-General Motors is gathering together the best of its past–and the best of its current operations–and showcasing them in a new archive to be located in suburban Detroit. The 81,000-sf GM Heritage Center is planned to officially open later this month.

When completed, the center will hold more than 180 vehicles and reams of what manager Greg Wallace calls “two-dimensional” history–service manuals, marketing plans, sales documents and other items from recent years and GM’s earliest days. The opening of the Heritage Center is an early step in the preparations for the 100th anniversary of the world’s largest automaker. General Motors was founded in 1908.

“As GM prepares to celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2008, the GM Heritage Center will play a key role in showcasing the company’s rich history of success and linking it our future aspirations and accomplishments,” says Thomas Kowaleski, GM vice president of communications. The new facility is located off Mound, just south of Metro Pkwy.
