STERLING HEIGHTS, MI-DaimlerChrysler is expected to announce more than $250 million worth of renovations and upgrades to its two factories in Sterling Heights Tuesday. Chrysler itself wasn’t providing details in advance of the announcement, but Sterling Heights Mayor RichardNotte says the investments will accommodate work on as many as three different vehicles at the assembly plant and stamping plant, both on Van Dyke in Sterling Heights.

In a tax abatement request filed with the city, DCX says it plans to invest $226.7 million in new machinery and equipment at the assembly plant to accommodate the new JS models of the Chrysler Cirrus, Sebring Convertible and Dodge Stratus.

Another $28.4 million will go toward machinery and equipment at the 2,611-employee stamping plant. According to the tax abatement applications filed with the city, no new jobs will be created at the twoplants, but Notte says this level of investment means existing jobs at the plant are more secure.
