Description

Dakkota Integrated Systems will continue facility expansions with assistance from a New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation from Michigan Community Capital (MCC). The project supports the complex assembly of the Instrument Panels for Stellantis Jeep Grand Cherokee at both the Detroit Assembly Complex Mack and Jefferson North Assembly, which are both locally built. The expansion, which started in 2020, will create 300,000 square feet of manufacturing space at the former site of Kettering High School.The project will create 473 new full-time equivalent jobs in a census tract where 55.7% of the population falls below the poverty line. 446 of these jobs are accessible to people with less than a four-year degree. Benefits for these positions include health insurance, 401K contribution, paid vacation time, short- and long-term disability, job training tuition reimbursement, and education for personal finances, all of which will greatly benefit the families of these new workers.
