Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With six projects totaling $288 million in value, Kentucky leads the U.S. in spending for Automotive Industry projects that are slated to kick off in the second quarter this year. The big-ticket item in Kentucky is the planned kickoff of a $261.2 million metalforming plant expansion in Bowling Green.
Industrial Info is tracking the expansion by global automotive supplier Magna International (NYSE:MGA) (Aurora, Ontario). It includes construction of a new, 175,000-square-foot building at the site and about $185 million in equipment. Magna International is working on the project through its subsidiary, Bowling Green Metalforming LLC. URS Corporation (NYSE:URS) (San Francisco, California) is serving as construction manager, and Scott Murphy & Daniel LLC (Bowling Green) is the general contractor. Completion is set for first-quarter 2016.

This includes seven projects, valued at $219 million, which are still in the planning phases, where plenty of factors could alter their timing or outcome.
Michigan closely follows Kentucky, with eight projects valued at $215 million. The largest of these is the unconfirmed Lake Orion assembly plant expansion by General Motors (NYSE:GM) (Detroit, Michigan), which has a total investment value of $160 million.

DENSO Manufacturing Tennessee Company, part of Japan's DENSO Corporation, plans to kick off the $85 million expansion of a fuel injector manufacturing plant, located in Athens. A 224,000-square-foot facility will be built as part of the project to increase production capacity. Completion is slated for third-quarter 2016.
